LCA to be integrated with lighter BrahMos-NG supersonic cruise missile in few years

The next-gen missile is expected to make first flight in two years, says official

In few years from now, the indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas will be able to carry and launch the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. This will be possible once the lighter version of the supersonic cruise missile, BrahMos-NG (next generation), is ready, according to the company officials.

“The BrahMos-NG development is expected to make first flight in two years and will be ready for production in 2-3 years after that, according to a BrahMos official. The focus of the development as of now is on the air-launched version,” a BrahMos official said on the sidelines of DefExpo-2022. “
