NEW DELHI: Trump administration has approved the proposed sale of Indo-Pacific maritime domain awareness related software and equipment worth $131 million to India.
Given its increasing role in the crucial Indo-Pacific region, India had recently requested the US for purchase of the SeaVision software, technical assistance field team training, remote software and analytic support, and other related elements of logistics and programme support.
"This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the US by helping to strengthen the US-Indian strategic relationship and to improve the security of a major defence partner which continues to be an important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia regions," the US defence security cooperation agency said in a notification to US Congress.
The proposed sale will improve India's capability to meet current and future threats by bolstering its maritime domain awareness, analytical capabilities, and strategic posture, the agency added.
