'''NASM–SR''' or '''Naval Anti-Ship Missile–Short Range''' is a helicopter launched [[anti-ship missile]] being developed by the [[Defence Research and Development Organisation]] for the [[Indian Navy]]. It is the second indigenous air launched anti-ship cruise missile developed for the Indian Navy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Paul George |first=Justin |date=18 May 2022 |title=Smaller, slower than BrahMos, but deadly: Why desi anti-ship missile matters |url=https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2022/05/18/smaller-slower-than-brahmos-but-deadly-why-desi-anti-ship-missile-matters.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220519072519/https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2022/05/18/smaller-slower-than-brahmos-but-deadly-why-desi-anti-ship-missile-matters.html |archive-date=19 May 2022 |access-date=2022-05-18 |website=The Week |language=en}}</ref>

==Development==
Since 1980s, the Indian Navy is using Sea Eagle anti-ship missile on its [[Westland Sea King]] Mk42B multipurpose helicopter. The NASM-SR is intended as a replacement for the [[Sea Eagle (missile)|Sea Eagle missile]] which restricted flight range and increased take-off weight. The development of NASM-SR was made public for the first time in 2018 by the then [[Minister of Defence (India)|Minister of Defence]] [[Nirmala Sitharaman]]. Fund of ₹434.06 crore for the development was also allocated in the same year.<ref name=":0" /> The design and specifications of the new missile was revealed at the DefExpo 2020. The specification showed Mach 0.8 capable air launched anti-ship missile with a range of 55 km. The missile has an Imaging Infra-Red (IIR) seeker immune to jamming, state-of-the-art navigation system and integrated avionics.<ref name=":0" />

The NASM-SR can be easily adapted to launch from ships and land-based vehicles. DRDO is speculated to be developing a long range version of it for attacking land targets.<ref name=":0" /> As the Sea King Helicopters are being phased out, the NASM-SR will be equipped on Indian Navy's newly acquired [[Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk|MH-60R]] naval helicopters.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-05-21 |title=Explained: Why the anti-ship missile tested by the Navy matters |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/navy-anti-ship-missile-significance-explained-7928016/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220521071253/https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/navy-anti-ship-missile-significance-explained-7928016/ |archive-date=21 May 2022 |access-date=2022-05-21 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>
