System Characteristics

CRA was commissioned by BrahMos Aerospace to design, manufacture, and qualify The Corset-an advanced missile handling system engineered to ensure the safe handling, transport, and integration of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile across multiple deployment platforms.

The Challenge

Designing a High-Integrity Handling System for Extreme Defence Environ-ments

BrahMos Aerospace required a mission-critical mechanical system that could:

  • Safely secure and transport supersonic missile units across air, land, and naval platforms.
  • Withstand extreme shock, vibration, and dynamic loading conditions.
  • Maintain precise alignment and compatibility across multiple launch configurations.
  • Comply with rigorous defence QA protocols and full traceability requirements.
Our Solution

Custom-Built Missile Handling System with Full Qualification and Traceability

CRA engineered The Corset to deliver unmatched structural integrity and reliability under extreme operational conditions. Each system was developed with:

  • Precision Engineering: Over 1,500 components manufactured to exacting tolerances at CRA’s NCR facility.
  • Structural Robustness: Engineered to endure severe vibration and shock profiles representative of real-world deployment.
  • Full QA and Compliance: Certified under ORDAQA and full QAP, with complete raw material traceability and third-party audits.
  • Custom Load-Testing Infrastructure: Purpose-built testing facilities simulated critical operational stresses, validating system reliability and safety.

Results

Proven Reliability Across India’s Defence Platforms

  • Mission-Critical Validation: Successfully qualified and deployed across all branches of BrahMos operations.
  • Exceptional Durability: Demonstrated resilience under extreme environmental and dynamic conditions.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: Seamlessly integrated with land, air, and naval launch systems.
  • Consistent Quality: Every batch validated under custom test protocols and comprehensive third-party audits.
