Nirbhay is a long range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missile designed and developed in India by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) which is under Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The missile can be launched from multiple platforms and is capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads. It is currently deployed in limited numbers in LAC during standoff with China.


Nirbhay is powered by a solid rocket booster for take off which is developed by Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL). Upon reaching the required velocity and height, a Turbofan engine in the missile takes over for further propulsion. The missile is guided by an inertial navigation system developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and a radio altimeter for the height determination. The missile has a Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG) based guidance, control and navigation system. It also has a Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based Inertial Navigation System (INS) along with the GPS/NAVIC system. The missile has a length of 6 metres, width of 0.52 metres, a wing span of 2.7 metres and weighs about 1500 kg. It has a range of about 1000 km and is capable of delivering 24 different types of warheads depending on mission requirements between 200 and 300 kg.


The missile is claimed to have sea-skimming and loitering capability, i.e., it can go round a target and perform several manoeuvres and then re-engage it. It is also able to pick out a target and attack it among multiple targets. With two side wings, the missile is capable of flying at different altitudes ranging from 100 m to 4 km above the ground and can also fly at low altitudes (like low tree level) to avoid detection by enemy radar. It will eventually supplement the role played by Brahmos missile for the Indian Armed Forced by delivering warheads farther than the 450 km range of Brahmos.


India has deployed its long-range missile Nirbhay along with missile Brahmos and Akash surface to air missile to deter Chinese aggression along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh .


GTRE is developing a new 4.25 kN thrust turbofan engine to power Nirbhay Cruise missile and future UAV, Long range AshM cruise missile systems. GTRE is working fast to add test capabilities and infrastructure to test the Manik engine.

Lieutenant General Alok Singh Kler is the present commander. The command's operational units include I Corps, formerly under Central Command, and X Corps, likewise transferred from Western Command. By early 2005 the Army worked to restructure formations based along the Indo-Pak border to carve out the new South-Western Command to bolster strike capabilities. The Army was working to establish the new operational command, the South-Western Command, to operate in conjunction with the Udhampur-based Northern Command and Chandimandir-based Western Command. With the formation of the South-Western Command, there are six operational commands, and the seventh major command is Army Training Command (ATRAC).
