@ Gambit, thanks for a nice post on TERCOM.
I have a few questions regarding the age old supersonic vs subsonic conflict.
In the sea skimming mode brahmos flies @ 10m altitude ( few reports on the official site claim 3m but let us not consider it).
Comparing it with the standard subsonic AShM flying @ 3-5m above the waves, what can be the differance in time between detecting former and later.
Let us forget about IRST (I have some data regarding that), assume an average radar (ship based or airborne will have two different values), though differance in size should be factored in for the missiles.
I disagree with the word "very" in your post. In the land attack role, maybe yes (even then one could argue that it is mission specific or target specific). But as an AShM it is not "adversary specific"!

The Brahmos is a very adversary specific weapon.
