What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tata Advanced Systems Limited and the Javelin Joint Venture, which includes Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, signed a memorandum of understanding on August 30, 2026, to explore co-production of the US-made Javelin anti-tank guided missile in India. This follows previous discussions between the Javelin Joint Venture and state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited. The new agreement with private sector companies indicates a move away from state-owned partners for critical technology transfer.
