The chief executive officer of BrahMos Aerospace, A Sivathanu Pillai, on Friday said the next target of the Indo-Russian joint venture is to develop a hypersonic cruise missile with a speed of Mach 7.

While delivering the 26th CSIR NAL Foundation Day lecture on self-reliance in aerospace technologies, Pillai said the missile would fly at seven times the speed of sound.

“We are venturing into the hypersonic world where speed is the power. We want to reach Mach 7,” he said.

The Centre of Excellence in High Speed Aerodynamics at the Indian Institute of Science and the Moscow Aviation Institute will play a key role in the research and development of the missile.

The present BrahMos which is the only supersonic cruise missile in service has been inducted into the Indian Navy and Army. It has a range of 300km and can fly at a speed of Mach 3. The hypersonic version will have a scramjet engine in place of a ramjet.
Pillai added that while a submarine version of the BrahMos is under development, work on the air launch version for the Indian Air Force, to be fit on the Sukhoi-30 MKI aircraft, has been completed.

“The missile is ready, once the modification on the Sukhoi-30 MKI’s is completed trials would be carried out,” Pillai added.

On the export prospects of the BrahMos, Pillai said the missile is a globally competitive product and many countries have expressed their interest for the product.

The Indo-Russian joint venture was setup with an investment of $300 million with 50.5 % funding coming from India and 49.5 % from Russia. “We have so far made a business of $4 billion and expect to make about $10 billion,” Pillai said.

Try to beat China's YJ-12 which has a range of over 400km and can fly at a speed of Mach 4. :cheers:

A more advanced version of the missile,the YJ-12G, is also close to deployment on all sorts of in-air platforms,including(future under development)UCAVs。

For your further information,China‘s JASSM,with a range of over 500km and capable a speed surpassing the JSSAM’s,is also being fielded。

India has a lot of catch-ups to do。 :cheers:

China's JASSM? Enlighten me on that. The new JASSM in U.S. arsenal has almost 1000km range.

8/7/2012 - DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The 337th Test and Evaluation Squadron is scheduled to complete the final-phase of operational testing for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile - Extended Range later this month, marking a significant step toward operational employment.
The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile - Extended Range is an autonomous, air-to-ground, precision-guided standoff missile designed to meet the needs of U.S. warfighters. It shares the same powerful capabilities and stealthy characteristics of the baseline JASSM, but with more than two-and-a-half times the range.

Didnt you hear...Mach 7....
 
First do the tests on Mach 7 and IF its a success announce it publicly. An hey there's an engine change to scram jet instead of ramjet..That means No hyper brahmos in next ten years,,Good luck with that:D
