"This is a significant step towards self -sufficiency in niche missile technologies, including in search and guidance technologies," the Navy said, using GPS and infrared chamber to put on the target. Start confirmed the stated capabilities of the rocket, which brought it closer to the adoption and mass production. The peculiarity of the rocket is that it allows you to run NASM-SR from helicopters or other aircraft.
The new Indian rocket should be replaced with SEA SKUA and full -sized SEA Eagle, which is currently operated on UK helicopters and launched launches. The main characteristics of NASM-SR anti-ship rocket: one rocket can affect the ship up to 5 thousand tons. For example, the Russian frigate of the project 22350 "Admiral Gorshkov" has 5400 tons of complete displacement.
