Product:Brahmos warhead

Brahmos is a supersonic cruise missile with a range of 300km (Flight time 300 s) and carried a warhead of about 200 kg. Anti-Ship PCB warhead for Brahmos missile is indigenously developed by Programme PJ-10. HEMRL has developed the novel high explosive HEMEX which is a HMX based explosive. HEMEX formulation has been developed by HEMRL, based on the requirement given in terms of shock sensitivity, VoD, filling density and TNT equivalent. HEMRL has also developed the procedure and infrastructure required for filling the warhead casing and preparation of booster pellet during the development phase. Vacuum casting method has been adopted for filling the warhead with HEMEX composition to achieve desired density.

Application of the Product

The warhead is developed to neutralize surface ships like cruisers, frigates, destroyers, ground buildings belonging to air force and naval bases, power stations and other vulnerable ground targets. The anti-ship warhead of missile system is intended to function after the missile penetrates into the targets.
