National Desk:
For the first time, the Indian Navy has successfully test-fired BrahMos missile equipped with indigenously made Seeker and Booster. The designing of both the instruments has been done by DRDO. Developing both these instruments in the country will save a lot of money. Because till now they were imported from Russia. But these are instruments made under the Atmanirbhar Bharat scheme.
DRDO or Navy has not told what kind of Sikar is. How much did it benefit in the accuracy of the missile. But a senior official of Nagpur-based company Economic Explosives Limited (EEL), which manufactures indigenous boosters fitted in the naval version of BrahMos missile, told on the condition of anonymity that the cost will be reduced by half by installing indigenous boosters. Not of the entire missile, but of the booster.
EEL official told that indigenous booster has been installed in medium-range stealth supersonic cruise missile. Its trial was going on for the last three-four years. The first land version was done in BrahMos. Now done in the naval version. In future, these missiles will be completely replaced with indigenous technology. We will not need to bring anything from outside.
