India and the United States are partnering to co-produce sonobuoys to enhance Undersea Domain Awareness (UDA) for the Indian Navy. This collaboration, involving Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and Ultra Maritime, aims to counter increasing Chinese naval activities in the Indian Ocean. Sonobuoys, essential for submarine detection in anti-submarine warfare, will be manufactured under the "Make in India" initiative. Production adheres to U.S. Navy standards, ensuring interoperability. The partnership highlights broader defence cooperation, aligning with the U.S.-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (ICET), promoting maritime security, and strengthening defence innovation. Enhanced UDA ensures regional stability and maritime safety.
