The India-U.S. collaboration on the co-production of sonobuoys is aimed at strengthening the Indian Navy’s submarine detection capabilities. The final assembly of U.S.-specification sonobuoys will take place in India, and the operational production line is expected to be ready by 2027. This initiative involves the partnership between U.S.-based Ultra Maritime and India’s Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), marking a significant development in undersea warfare technology. The sonobuoys will provide advanced capabilities for detecting submarines, enhancing India’s defence and undersea domain awareness.
