Years ago - 2009 - the sole available artistic view of a Brahmos Mark II hypersonic missile project was a Brahmos 1 with an added "II" photoshoped writing on it. The drawing attached herein was available on BrahMos' website. Recent press reports suggest that 4 aerodynamic configurations were actually designed for refinement, testing and further downselect. The Aero India 2013 scaled down mock up might be the result of this iterative process… It is not axisymetric - obviously not. Another key feature is its performances. A publicized intended cruising speed of Mach 7. And under the constraints of MTCR, a range below 290 km, thus making it as a weapon of choice for handling time critical targets, provided the hypothesized on board GPS does not fail in case GPS satellite signal fails to be available in the course of operations. I read a story on something along these lines, years ago, not directly related to BrahMos 2.
