New Delhi: During Operation Sindoor, the world witnessed the power of India's BrahMos missile. To make a strong attack on Pakistan and terrorism it supports, India targeted the terrorist bases of Jaish and Lashkar with this missile. After BrahMos, India is now working on a new missile. This is a hypersonic missile that will be equipped with more destructive power than BrahMos. The engine has been successfully tested
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been long focused on developing an indigenous hypersonic missile. In a recent interview, former DRDO chief and senior scientist Dr. Sudhir Kumar Mishra mentioned that India is soon going to present this hypersonic missile to the world. Its engine has been successfully tested. India included among select countries
India has joined the select group of countries that possess hypersonic missile technology. In November 2024, the DRDO successfully tested its first long-range hypersonic missile (LRAShM – Long Range Anti-Ship Missile) from Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha. Scramjet engine-based technology
India is now on the list of countries with hypersonic missile technology, alongside Russia, China, and the USA. Hypersonic missiles operate using scramjet engine-based technology. Faster than BrahMos
India already possesses the world's fastest missile, BrahMos, which is a supersonic missile. The new hypersonic missile will be faster than BrahMos. Hypersonic missiles strike the enemy at speeds five times or more than the speed of sound (Mach 5 or more than 6,174 km/h). It is almost impossible to intercept hypersonic missiles from radar. Even if they are intercepted, it is almost impossible to stop them. The technology to stop hypersonic missiles is available only to select countries.
Hypersonic missiles can change direction during flight. The hypersonic missile that India is working on has not been detailed yet, but some media reports claim that its range is more than 1,500 kilometers.
India has long been making its defense preparations keeping China in mind. India is also working on a hypersonic version of BrahMos, which is expected to have a speed of Mach 7-8. These missiles are capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons, making them even more dangerous.

Zen Technologies acquires 55% stake in Raghu Vamsi Group's defence drone company TISA Aerospace
HYDERABAD: With the spotlight on the defence drone sector post Operation Sindoor, Hyderabad-based anti-drone tech player Zen Technologies Limited has acquired majority stake in emerging defence technology player TISA Aerospace Pvt Ltd, which specialises in indigenously developing loitering munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Zen Technologies will be acquiring around 54.7% stake in Hyderabad-based TISA Aerospace for a consideration of nearly Rs 6.6 crore. This it will be doing through the acquisition of 2,06,518 equity shares from existing shareholders in the company. Zen Technologies will also be acquiring another 4 lakh 6% compulsory convertible debentures of TISA, which was set up by Raghu Vamsi Group's promoter Vamsi Vikas Ganesula and Kiran Kumar Vagga in December 2020. News of the acquisition powered Zen Technologies shares to the 5% upper circuit at Rs 1995.30 a share on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Monday as compared to the previous sessions close of Rs 1900.30 a share. The move marks Zen Technologies' foray into the rapidly growing domain of loitering munitions, UAVs and precision guided weaponry.

Position Andhra as hub for advanced aerospace, defence tech: CM Naidu
Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday emphasised the need to position the state as a hub for advanced technologies and innovation in the aerospace and defence sectors. Position Andhra as hub for advanced aerospace, defence tech: CM Naidu Reviewing the Aerospace and Defence Policy 4.0 at the Secretariat, which aims to attract investments of up to ₹ 1 lakh crore, Naidu stressed the importance of technology in defence, especially in the wake of Operation Sindoor. "The Chief Minister emphasised the need to position the state as a hub for advanced technologies and innovation in the aerospace and defence sectors… He underscored the growing role of technology in national defence," said an official press release, quoting Naidu. He also highlighted the importance of developing such technologies for both defence applications and improving daily life. Pointing to the immense potential in national defence and internal security, Naidu said the new policy should play a pivotal role in facilitating the establishment of industries aligned with these priorities. Naidu suggested several amendments to ensure national security remains a top focus. Aerospace and Defence Advisor Satish Reddy also joined the review meeting via video conference and offered his suggestions. Further, Naidu underscored the need to support MSMEs in the sector and proposed a ₹ 100-crore annual corpus fund, along with the inclusion of logistics subsidies in the new policy. The policy designates specialised manufacturing corridors across Andhra Pradesh, including Visakhapatnam-Srikakulam for naval systems, Jaggaiahpet-Donakonda for missile production, Kurnool-Orvakal for drone technologies, and Lepakshi-Madakasira for aerospace electronics. Tirupati is expected to emerge as a research and development hub with the proposed DRDO Centre of Excellence, the press release added. Officials informed Naidu that Bharat Forge and Millimetre Wave companies are preparing to invest in the Madakasira cluster. So far, 23 companies have invested ₹ 22,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh's aerospace and defence clusters, generating employment for 17,000 people, the press release stated.

DRDO develops 5.56x45 mm CQB carbine in partnership with private sector firm
New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): In a significant development, a Carbine developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has emerged as the lowest bidder in the Indian Army tender for buying over 4 lakh close-quarter battle carbines for operations. DRDO Develops 5.56x45 mm CQB Carbine 'Significantly boosting #atmanirbharta in critical technology, 5.56x45 mm CQB Carbine, designed and developed by Armament Research and Development Establishment(ARDE), DRDO selected as L1 in Indian Army Request for Proposal (RFP)', DRDO shared on 'X'. The Indian Army has been looking to acquire these carbines for a long time, but has not been able to make any progress due to the withdrawal of tenders. If the Indian Army finally signs the tender for buying the carbines, this would be one of the biggest contracts ever for Indian-designed and developed small arms. Meanwhile on June 17, India entered into a new quantum era by successfully demonstrating an experimental advancement through DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE), IIT Delhi, according to the official statement from the Ministry of Defence. Free-space quantum secure communication using quantum entanglement over a distance of more than one km was achieved via a free-space optical link established on the IIT Delhi campus. The experiment attained a secure key rate of nearly 240 bits per second with a quantum bit error rate of less than 7 per per the release, this entanglement-assisted quantum secure communication paves the way for real-time applications in quantum cybersecurity, including long-distance Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), the development of quantum networks, and the future quantum internet. These efforts align with India's broader objectives to advance quantum technologies for national development. Under the project 'Design and development of photonic technologies for free space QKD', sanctioned by Directorate of Futuristic Technology Management (DFTM), DRDO, the demonstration was given by Prof Bhaskar Kanseri's research group in the presence of several dignitaries, including the DRDO DG (MED, COS & CS), Director SAG, Director DFTM, Dean (R&D) IIT Delhi, Director (DIA-CoE) and DRDO laboratory scientists.
