Nirbhay Type Long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile[1] Place of origin India Production history Manufacturer DRDO Produced Expected in 2012 Specifications Weight 1,000 kg Length 6 m Diameter 0.52 m Operational
range1,000 km Speed 0.7 mach Guidance
systemINS Nirbhay (Sanskrit: निर्भय, Nirbhay "Dauntless/Fearless") is a long range, subsonic cruise missile[1] being developed in India. The missile will have a range of 1,000 km and will arm three services, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force.[2] The Nirbhay will be able to be launched from multiple platforms on land, sea and air. The missile is being developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory, a division of DRDO and after finalizing the design, the technology required for the missile is being developed. The first test flight of the missile is expected in the year 2012.[3] Nirbhay will be a terrain hugging, stealthy missile[4] capable of delivering 24 different types of warheads depending on mission requirements and will use an inertial navigation system for guidance.[5] Nirbhay will supplement Brahmos in the sense that it would enable delivery of warheads farther than the 300 km range of Brahmos.
