HEMHRL ( High Energy Materials Research Laboratory), a DRDO lab based in Pune is developing a special solid propellant to be used as fuel by BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, the Indian Express reported on Friday. The solid propellant booster is in its final stages of development and a test next month will determine how soon it can be used by the forces.
The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test fired from a Sukhoi-30 fighter jet on Wednesday. It is the only missile in the world that is fit to be launched from the air, land and sea.
