Indian Navy Developments & Discussions

So max diameter is ~0.65 meters
If you can pack all the fins, hinges, conduits, restraints...in just 25mm (radial height above fuselage of 300mm) then you've achieved a feat that's extremely rare in the whole world regarding packing efficiency of missiles and canister.
Sub launched brahmos ER will use this canister insted of above mentioned universal canister.....
No matter what canister it uses, it would be of similar dimensions.
• you need a safety gap between canister body and missile
• you need space to accommodate all the things that are going to prevent the missile from moving in all six DoFs. When ships move in Sea State 5 the resulting acceleration becomes 2.5g.
• you need space to accommodate a mechanic that allows the missile to move in one DoF when it's fired
• the canister can't be paper thin, there's some thickness of it too
• it's not land or ship, you now need to account for the water pressure too.
Drdo uses similar canisters & TEL's to keep development cost less

That universal canister you posted is used to launch k15 , shaurya , pralay ,
I would be glad to know how DRDO uses the canister developed for cold launch of BrahMos to hot launch K-15, Shaurya and Pralay.
Especially given the fact that this whole canister is just 8.5m whereas Pralay's missile alone is 9m long.

I think he's right... If we're gonna make estimates, our baseline should be the universal BrahMos Cannister.

Literally all of you are wrong
Brahmos Dimensions from official Brahmos Aerospace website
What if I say the dimensions in the official site are "wrong" too!?

What exactly is a 200-300kg warhead? You put a 200kg warhead and with time it drinks kerosene and gains 100kg! Or is it a Schrodinger's warhead where it's in a state of 200-300kg untill the detonator goes off. And both air and ground launched versions have the same range of 290km! Where's physics?

The dimensions of the Nibe canister that I quoted is still pretty much the most accurate data you can have if you're dealing with a VLS.

Sure 😊 whatever you say buddy

Who knows maybe it's a Schrodinger's warhead, maybe it's not, Or is it a cannibalistic warhead afterall 🤨🤨

Oh look it ate some of that solid fuel and gained 50 kg in this missile as well, bad bad warhead🤬🤬

Seriously dude, different role, different variant different warhead, what's the big deal.

Maybe the Air launched variant use a smaller warhead, maybe the Navy and Army versions use different types of warhead, no need to make a mountain out of a molehill

And both air and ground launched versions have the same range of 290km! Where's physics?
Where's physics when the range of Ground Launched Brahmos increased from 290 to 800km without any significant structural changes.

Did it ever occur to you that, a brochure meant for foreign dignitaries is bound to have MTCR compliant ranges mentioned in it.

How would the TEEVRA 40 (Naval L&T 40mm Bofors) fare in place of the CRN 91 on the ASW-SWC.

Indonesia is using atleast 2 units on it's Teluk Bintuni-class tank landing ship.

This Ammunition is used against Aircraft and sea skimmer missile threats. This is fired from 40 mm L70 BOFORS & BREDA 40 mm L70 guns.

From a technology perspective it's a perfect replacement (Except less ammo storage and slightly increased weight)
But Paisa Babumoshai Paisa, CRN 91 is dirt cheap compared to literally anything else
