India & U.S Collaborate To Build Sonobuoys For Tracking Chinese Submarines

India and the United States will manufacture sonobuoys used for tracking submarines, in support of the U.S and Indian defence industrial bases.

U.S. Company Ultra Marine and Indian Public Sector Undertaking Bharat Dynamics Limited will manufacture sonobuoys in India.

This first-of-its-kind partnership was discussed in a meeting between the US national security advisor Jake Sullivan and his Indian counterpart Ajit Doval.

These sonobuoys will enhance the Indian Navy’s anti-submarine warfare capabilities by integrating them with the Navy’s submarine-hunting MH-60 helicopters.

The sonobuoys can also be deployed from the Boeing P-8I long-range
