Summary/Abstract |
The US defence industry has been the leading manufacturer and exporter of the major weapons systems of the world. In the post-Cold War era, most of the global defence industries, including the US defence industry, are looking towards India as an outsourcing hub for the technological development as well as markets. The current international security and threat perceptions, the defence industry trends and challenges, the convergence of geo-economic and geo-strategic interests between India and the US have strengthened the defence industry collaborations between them. The confidence and the trust that have been built in recent years between the US and India in the overall bilateral relationship have facilitated the strategic/security partnership in which the defence industry ties would be a key component of the ongoing "US-India strategic partnership."
