President A P J Abdul Kalam today asked BrahMos team to work on developing "Mark-II" version of BrahMos hypersonic cruise missile system and also reusable class of cruise missiles.
"Time has come for BrahMos Aerospace to work on Mark-II version of BRAHMOS so that you will still be the market leader in hypersonic cruise missiles," Kalam said while commencing the delivery of BrahMos missile system to the Army here.
Observing that fast deployment of hypersonic missile systems will be necessary to maintain India's force level supremacy, he said "I visualize long range hypersonic cruise missiles not only delivering pay loads but also returning to the base after the mission, leading to re-usable class of cruise missiles within the next decade". http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NEWS/newsrf.php?newsid=8831
