A friend showed me a .gif the other day of a sub launched cruise (I think) missile that, as soon as it broke the surface, a thruster jet on the nose fired making it perfectly horizontal at a VERY low altitude. I'd never seen a launch like that before and would like to read up on the tech a bit. Seemed really cool.

Anyone know what it was?

I don't recall the model but I think it was an Indian derivative of a Russian missile.

Cool video, actually.  The rocket acts like it's thinking "over this way, a bit more, gotta GO!"

But not so cool thinking about who might be on the receiving end.


ETA: I think it was the Brahmos missile.  Can't find the particular vid I was thinking of but it's the same missile.

Youtube is full of vids of it.  Kind of like a heavy PR campaign might produce.

That's the vid I recall.  But none of the others I found show it in flight uninterupted while still showing the low altitude noseover.

I wonder if it does what it's supposed to be shown doing.

It's a lot more clear in the videos I linked.

You know, that GIF would make a good "eject from thread" gif.

Rather ingenious.  You cannot discount the Indians when it comes to developing technology.  Their cultural differences can lead them to find workable solutions we would never dream of pursuing.  For a US missile there would need to be a Zillion dollar steerable exhaust nozzle on the booster instead of the thrusters on the nose in a jettisoned ring structure.
