Joshi explained that the weapon system evades adversary radars and air defense networks while maintaining supersonic speed across all phases of flight. Addressing tri-service integration, he noted its universal compatibility across naval warships, ground platforms, and fighter aircraft.
Furthermore, Dr. Joshi shared progress on indigenous technological developments, including the advanced BrahMos-NG variant configured for carriage on aircraft wings, and ongoing conceptual design work under a national program to develop a hypersonic iteration of the cruise missile.
