Electronics Corporation of India Ltd (ECIL), Hyderabad has bagged another success with the SEEKER system used in the BrahMos Supersonic Missile, which was successfully test fired at the Pokhran test range in Rajasthan on Thursday.
It was for the first time that the missile, capable of travelling at speeds of up to Mach 3.0 and hit enemy targets at a range of up to 400 km was tested with indigenously developed 'seeker' technology.
The SEEKER system, indigenously developed was a key contributor to increasing the effectiveness of the precision strike of BrahMos missile. The ECIL had collaborated with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) and BrahMos Aerospace, to develop the SEEKER system.

The name BrahMos is formed from the names of two rivers: the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia.
BrahMos missile is the heaviest weapon to be deployed on India's Su-30 fighter aircraft, and very soon to be integrated on 40 Sukhoi combat aircraft.
