India, US to Co-Produce Advanced Sea Drones and Surveillance Systems

India and the US have launched an innovative partnership to collaboratively develop and produce maritime drones, counter-drone systems, and advanced surveillance technologies through the new Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance (ASIA). This initiative was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump during Modi’s visit to Washington, with the goal of enhancing regional security and strengthening defense relations in the Indo-Pacific. Leading industry players such as Anduril and Mahindra Group will spearhead the development of AI-enabled systems. This alliance is part of the larger US-India COMPACT framework aimed at improving military cooperation across air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace.
