MBDA AND THE INDIAN NAVY EXCELLENCE IN MARITIME SUPERIORITY
Geopolitics
|December 2020
MBDA has an excellent record of accomplishment providing both operational and industrial capabilities in partnership with the Indian armed forces and Indian defence industry. The strength of these two pillars makes it a long-term true partnership, and one that should only get stronger
-
MBDA has been a partner to the Indian armed forces for more than 50 years and is proud of its long history supporting the Indian Navy. With high-performing missile systems from MBDA on board its Scorpene submarines, the Indian Navy patrols the seas knowing it has excellence at its side and can rely on MBDA’s other offerings to provide maritime superiority.
Just as important as its proud history with the Indian Navy, is MBDA’s industrial partnerships in India. MBDA has been working in close partnership with Indian industry for over 50 years as well, building missile technologies in India and assisting with the development of a sovereign Indian missile industry, both in the public and private sector.
MBDA has an excellent record of accomplishment providing both operational and industrial capabilities in partnership with the Indian armed forces and Indian defence industry. The strength of these two pillars makes it a long-term true partnership, and one that should only get stronger. The partnerships MBDA has formed with Indian industry have seen over 50,000 MBDA designed missiles produced in India - a noteworthy success.
MBDA is committed to ‘Make in India’. The company has opened up its supply chains to Indian businesses, and Larsen and Toubro is already part of that supply chain on several missiles. That is why MBDA formed the joint venture - L&T MBDA Missile Systems Ltd - with such longstanding partner to deliver important missile programmes under the ‘Make in India’ category and provide new enhancements for the Indian Navy’s fighting potency.
