4. The first version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was inducted into the Indian Navy in 2005.

Latest variants

1. Tests are conducted periodically to continuously upgrade and update the missiles with new hardware and software.

2. Capability of the latest variants has been tested based on various parameters under different atmospheric conditions.

3. Additional hardware and software systems have been tested based on the inputs from the user against more complex targets.

4. The latest version under development is aimed at attaining speeds greater than Mach 5. These are called hypersonic cruise missiles.

5. The latest BrahMos Air-Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM) has been significant addition in IAF’s air combat capability from stand-off ranges.

6. Stand-off range missiles are ones that are launched at a distance sufficient to allow an attacking party to evade defensive fire expected from the target area.

About DRDO

1. It is an agency of the Ministry of Defence works in the military's research and development sector. It is headquartered in New Delhi, India.

2. It seeks to empower India with cutting-edge defence technologies and achieve self-reliance in critical defence technologies and systems.

It is one of the very simple and easy algorithms which works on regression and shows the relationship between the continuous variables. It is used for solving the regression problem in machine learning. Linear regression shows the linear relationship between the independent variable (X-axis) and the dependent variable (Y-axis), hence called linear regression. If there is only one input variable (x), then such linear regression is called  simple linear regression .
