In a significant stride towards enhancing India’s defense capabilities, the Director General (DG) of BrahMos, Dr. Jaiteerth Joshi, has announced that the design phase for the next-generation BrahMos NG (Next Generation) missile has been successfully completed. This declaration was made to Russian media, highlighting the ongoing Indo-Russian collaboration in missile technology.

The BrahMos NG missile is a lighter and more compact version of the existing BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, known for its speed and precision. According to Dr. Joshi, the development phase has now commenced, aiming to integrate this advanced missile system into a broader spectrum of military platforms, both aerial and naval.

“The design phase for BrahMos NG has concluded, and we’ve entered the development phase,” Dr. Joshi stated. This transition signifies a move towards actual production and testing, with the goal of enhancing the versatility and lethality of India’s missile arsenal.

The BrahMos NG missile, while maintaining the high speed and range of its predecessor, is significantly lighter, weighing around 1.5 tonnes compared to the original’s heft. This reduction allows for deployment on lighter platforms, including various types of fighter jets and potentially smaller naval vessels. Its length is reduced from 9 meters to 6 meters, enhancing its compatibility with smaller aircraft like the indigenous Tejas.

The missile’s design includes advanced stealth features and an improved guidance system, ensuring pinpoint accuracy in various combat scenarios. This development aims to make BrahMos NG not only a formidable weapon system for India but also an attractive export option for countries looking to bolster their defense capabilities.

With the development phase underway, the focus now shifts to rigorous testing and eventual induction into service, expected within the next few years. The BrahMos Aerospace team, under the leadership of Dr. Joshi, is optimistic about meeting these timelines, leveraging the expertise and technology from both Indian and Russian scientists and engineers.
