At 0.75m, it's too big for ships.
I'm not sure how well the AAD can be integrated with the MFSTAR, but we may be getting more indigenous stuff on future ships. But AAD is definitely necessary in order to fight Chinese ASBMs. Will even need AD-1.

Brahmos is 0.6 m in dia. Also the naval version, Sagarika, is a bit modernised from the land version isn't it ? A bit of size can be lost if the Navy wants it on surface ships.
From the looks of it the MF-STAR will be replaced in this :
And by the recently observed size. Its may not be a mast mounted radar. Rather it may be a super-structure mounted radar(like the naval AEGIS radars).
AAD has a stated range of 150 KM. Now I don't know if its horizontal or vertical range. If its the later than its pretty good, if its the former than its pretty bad. I feel like XR-SAM maybe a better fit. News about the AD-1/2 has dried up. No new updates in a long time, I wonder why.
0.75m dia is still too much, although the Russians have the even larger 0.85m Granit on their Kirov class cruiser. But that's a giant.
Anyway, there really is no point to adding Shaurya on ships. But I'm sure a corvette or two can be modified to carry 1 such missile each if necessary, like the Prithvi currently.
Phase II is still under wraps of course. Gotta wait for first set of tests.
Next will be triyambhkamb and after that shankhanam and then narayanam and then sudarshanam
if you compile the names of all these Madrasi weapons built by DRDO you can create a mantra
Arujna bhavati Nirbhaya satyam, Dhanusha Praharam, Tejas nayanam

That was genuinely funny. Most of your other posts are hilarious too.Next will be triyambhkamb and after that shankhanam and then narayanam and then sudarshanam

Till now I was aware of Marwadi, marathi manoos, gujrati, Punjabi, kannada, language and people but now you have taken it to another level. Madrasi BUM, MISSILES, ROCKETS, FIGHTERS. This is hilarious.....Next will be triyambhkamb and after that shankhanam and then narayanam and then sudarshanam

This is wrong on your part
At least South Indians join DRDO and ISRO
AND serve the country
The TALENTED people from North just
Run after Money
Not true. Northees too form a significant number in both PSUs. But they rarely reach to the top of bureaucracy due to favouritism. It’s true for every PSU/organisation though . Locals get better opportunities and reach higher levels more often.
Similarly OFBs have more Bengali babus than other ethnicity and PSU in UP/MP have more locals.
That is really funny "Madrasi weapon"Next will be triyambhkamb and after that shankhanam and then narayanam and then sudarshanam

Philippines plans to procure Brahmos land-based supersonic anti-ship missile system from India
According to a publication released by the Facebook account MaxDefense Philippines June 1, 2020, the Philippines plans to procure the Brahmos land-based supersonic anti-ship missile system from India.

The development of BrahMos is based on the Russian made P-800 Oniks / Yakhont supersonic anti-ship cruise missile. The BrahMos propulsion is based on the Oniks, while the guidance system was developed by BrahMos Aerospace. The first flight test involving BrahMos anti-ship missile was carried out on June 12, 2001, in the Interim Test Range in the state of Orissa, India.
The ship-based BrahMos missiles can carry a conventional semi-armour-piercing warhead of 200 kg. According to India, the Brahmos missile is claimed to be the fastest low-altitude missile in the world. It has a maximum firing range of 500 km.
The Brahmos missile is powered by a two-stage power-plant, with a solid-fuel rocket providing the first stage, accelerating the missile to supersonic speeds and with a liquid-fuelled ramjet as the second stage, accelerating it to a maximum speed of Mach 2.8.
Block III has advanced guidance and upgraded software, incorporating high maneuvers at multiple points and steep dive from high altitude. The steep dive capability of the Block III enables it to hit targets hidden behind a mountain range. It can engage ground targets from an altitude as low as 10 meters for precision strikes without any collateral damage. It is capable of being launched from multiple platforms like submarines, ships, aircraft and land-based Mobile Autonomous Launchers (MAL).

Philippines plans to procure Brahmos land-based supersonic anti-ship missile system from India
There were reports last year that filipinos were interested in Russian medium lift choppers and fighter jets. The Russians also offered local small arms manufacturing deal when relations between US and Philippines strained. I'm sure Russia would be more than willing to offer the Brahmos to counter US's sphere of influence
Moscow offers arms technology to Philippines with ‘no conditions’

Amidst Border Bloodshed, Air-Launched BrahMos Cleared for Combat (excerpt)

At a time when an escalating 40-day border standoff has led to a savage clash with multiple casualties in Indian and Chinese army units in Ladakh’s Galwan Valley, the Indian military has just welcomed a new weapon into its operational arsenal.
While the brutal violence that exploded on a lonely ridge in eastern Ladakh on the night of June 15 saw the use of Chinese nail-studded clubs, barbed-wire wrapped rods and rocks to inflict medieval-style death and injuries, over 3,500 km away at an air base in South India, a crucial weapon was quietly cleared into combat service.
The Indian Air Force can now fly Su-30 MKI combat missions with the BrahMos-A air-launched supersonic cruise missile. In a final milestone that clears the decks for use in operations, the missile system has just received ‘fleet release clearance’ from the Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC), DRDO, the government’s gatekeeper that provides a final stamp on flying equipment before military use.
The first BrahMos-armed Su-30 MKI jets were inducted into the Indian Air Force’s 222 Squadron ‘Tigersharks’ in January this year at the Thanjavur air force station in Tamil Nadu. (end of excerpt)
