=== Armament ===

The ship will be equipped with 144 [[Vertical launching system|VLS]] cells and 8 slant launchers. The 144 cells will be in a configuration of three 6×4 VLS cells which will be compatible for launching [[Surface-to-air missile|surface-to-air missiles]] and [[Anti-ballistic missile|anti-ballistic missiles]] as well as [[Surface-to-surface missile|surface-to-surface missiles]] and [[Anti-ship missile|anti-ship missiles]] including [[Barak 8]], [[Project Kusha]] system, [[BrahMos]], [[BrahMos-II|BrahMos 2]] [[Hypersonic cruise missile|hypersonic cruise missile,]] [[SMART (missile)|SMART]] and [[Nirbhay|LR-LACM]]. This weapons will be equipped in Universal Vertical LaunchLauncher SystemModules (UVLSUVLMs), which is developed for Indian Naval Ships.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":3" />

The Universal [[Vertical launching system|Vertical Launcher]] Module (UVLM) originally developed by [[BrahMos Aerospace]] for delivering [[BrahMos]] missile from Indian Naval Ships. However, the launcher system is now being integrated with other under-development missile systems like [[Nirbhay|LR-LACM]] and [[SMART (missile)|SMART]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Naval variant of BRAHMOS missile has successfully been integrated |url=https://forceindia.net/feature-report/more-firepower/ |access-date=2024-09-23 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=DefExpo20 BrahMos Aerospace |url=https://brahmand.com/defexpo20/# |access-date=2024-09-23 |website=brahmand.com}}</ref>
