The BrahMos cruise missile is a short-range supersonic cruise missile developed by an Indo-Russian joint venture. It has a range of 500-1000 km depending on configuration and travels at speeds of Mach 2.8-3, making it the fastest anti-ship cruise missile currently in operation. The BrahMos uses an inertial navigation system and terrain contour matching for guidance and has a diameter of 70 cm, wing span of 1.7m, and can carry a 300kg warhead with an accuracy of 1m.

2. HISTORY
• 1993:- Launched Integrated Guided Missile Development
Program
• 1998:- Russian and Indian governments signed an agreement
• 2001:- First launch
• 2003:- First test-launch of the missile from ship
• 2008:- Integrate the BRAHMOS in Indian Air force

3. HISTORY

4. • A cruise missile is basically a small, pilotless airplane.
• Cruise missiles have an 8.5-foot (2.61-meter) wingspan, are powered
by turbofan engines and can fly 500 to 1,000 miles (805 to 1,610 km)
depending on the configuration.
• A cruise missile's job in life is to deliver a 1,000-pound (450-kg) high-
explosive bomb to a precise location -- the target.
INTRODUCTION

5. INTRODUCTION
 The BrahMos is short range ramjet supersonic cruise missile
that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land.
 It is a joint venture between the Russian federation’s NPO and
India’s DRDO who have together formed BrahMos missile.
 The name BrahMos is formed from the names of two rivers,
the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia.
 It is the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation .
The missile travels at speeds of Mach 2.8 to 3.

6. COMPONENTS
• Warhead
• Fusing
• Guidance System
• Propulsion System
• Fins

8. GUIDANCE SYSTEMS
• The purpose of a guidance system is to direct the missile to target .
• Guidance systems vary greatly.
• Use of an Automatic target recognistion algorithm/device in the
guidance system increases accuracy of the missile.

9. TYPES OF GUIDANCE SYSTEMS
• Inertial navigation system
• TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching)
• Satellite navigation

10. SPECIFICATIONS
• It can carry a 300kg warhead.
• It has diameter of 70 cm and a wing span of 1.7m.
• Accuracy 1m
• Speed-2.8-3mach
• Weight-3000kg

11. ADVANTAGES OF CRUISE MISSILE
• The big advantage of the cruise missile is its smallness and cost.
• Its small size also improved the weapon’s chances of penetration.
• The map matching system (TERCOM) is combined with an inertial
navigational system. This not only gets the cruise to its target but also
with an accuracy.

12. Disadvantages of cruise missiles
• The lack of a human pilot means you can't re-use the thing.
• Their low and slow flight means they can be engaged by a much
wider variety of systems.

13. CONCLUSIONS
• Currently cruise missiles are among the most expensive of single-use
weapons, up to several million dollars apiece. However, they are
cheaper than human pilots when total training and infrastructure
costs are taken into account.
• Guidance System used in cruise missile is a complex system which
involves several systems working in tandem. It is essential that
guidance system is properly designed for accurate interception of
targets.
