it sounds an aegis kind of system is being put in place, any chance that a scramjet powered AAD will see light once the hypersonic brahmos-2 succeeds?
hopefully existing ship designs with IN with VLS can support aegis role
once PDV comes to light then we would know if its close to Dhanush or smaller sized Shaurya, while,
Shaurya is yet to be ship launched
Dhanush is yet to be canister launched from a ship

IIRC Shoura's twin Sagarika has been tested quite a few time from submerged depths, much easier to launch those canisters from surface vessels.
Fro ABM purposes range is not the issue (so SCRAM jet is less interesting), acceleration is (aka solid fuel & high thrust engines).
