The Long Range-Land Attack Cruise Missile, abbreviated as LR-LACM, a longer range variant, will have a range up to 1,500 km. This missile would be operated by both the Indian Navy and Indian Air Force when development is complete.
The under development missile was first mentioned in the 2023 Year End Review of the Ministry of Defence, and was named Long Range – Anti Ship Missile (LRAShM). [22] In 2024, it was reported that the LRAShM and its land-based variant would form a part of the proposed Integrated Rocket Force along with Pralay, BrahMos , Nirbhay and Pinaka MBRL .
Like long-range anti-ship missiles, land-attack missiles are usually turbojet or turbofan powered cruise missiles. To prevent early detection and counter-measures, they usually fly near the ground at very low altitude, employing terrain-following techniques, either with terrain-following radar or with precise navigation system, like GPS ...

India in 2017 successfully flight-tested its indigenous Nirbhay ('Fearless') land-attack cruise missile, which can deliver nuclear warheads to a strike range of 1,000 km. [58] Nirbhay had been flight-tested successfully. [58] [59] India currently operates 7 variants of Brahmos cruise missile operational range of 300-1000 km.
