"A useful meeting with Brian Schimpf, Co-Founder & CEO of @AndurilTech and his delegation. Spoke about India's growing technology ecosystem and opportunities for partnerships," Jaishankar said in a post on X.
Mahindra Group had last year announced a strategic partnership with US-based defence technology company Anduril Industries. Anduril Industries specializes in advanced autonomous systems.
The collaboration aims to jointly develop and produce future-proof military technologies, focusing on autonomous and counter-unmanned aerial systems. As per a statement, the partnership will concentrate on creating Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) designed for rapid deployment in security, survey, and reconnaissance missions.
The alliance will focus on developing advanced Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS) technologies capable of detecting and neutralizing drone threats, thereby bolstering defences against unmanned aerial systems, the statement said.
The announcement of the partnership came after a meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump in Washington DC in February last year, where defence cooperation was a top priority.
This collaboration underscored a growing focus on enhancing security capabilities using next-generation technologies, paving the way for strengthened defence ties between India and the United States. (ANI)
