Why it matters
The partnership supports the modernization of naval assets in India by providing unmanned aircraft for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. These drones are expected to stay airborne longer and operate at a lower cost compared to helicopters. This initiative is part of a broader trend involving both India and the United States in building shipborne drone capabilities.
