BrahMos Aerospace has already extended the range of the BrahMos missile from 290 kilometers to 500 kilometers and is working on a 800 kilometers and 1,500 kilometers range version of the system that can be launched from Land, Water, and Air.
The long-range would be achieved by optimizing the cruise performance of the missile’s ramjet engine and through the use of composites to reduce missile weight, facilitating enhanced fuel load and increase in speed.
