Tata Advanced Systems to co-produce Javelin AUR in India
Tata Advanced Systems (TASL) is teaming up with the Javelin Joint Venture (JJV), a partnership between Raytheon, an RTX business, and Lockheed Martin, to co-produce the Javelin All Up Round (AUR) in India.
This move follows the Indian Army's recent decision to buy Javelins from the US and now, TASL and JJV will explore final assembly and integration, along with component production capabilities in India.
TASL chosen after US javelin approval
TASL was chosen as the main partner following an evaluation of multiple companies based on capability and expertise.
The US gave a green light last year for India to purchase one (1) Javelin FGM-148 missile, fly-to-buy, 100 Javelin rounds and 25 launch units.
US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said, "The Javelin agreement demonstrates the depth of US support for the Indian Army and creates new opportunities for our defense industries to work together. We see tremendous potential for future cooperation that strengthens the defense industrial bases of both countries."
TASL CEO Sukaran Singh says, "We are pleased to partner with the JJV on this important next step in our long-standing relationship with Lockheed Martin and Raytheon."
