Ananthakrishnan and other senior company officers briefed the visiting dignitaries on various activities of HAL and a presentation was given on the occasion.

In a USD 3 billion agreement, India and the US agreed to purchase 31 High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAVs, of which the Navy will receive 15 Sea Guardian drones while the Army and Indian Air Force would receive eight of the land-based Sky Guardian drones a piece.

The agreement includes the potential joint production of GE Aerospace’s F414 engines in India, and GE Aerospace continues to work with the U.S. government to receive the necessary export authorization for this. The effort is part of the Indian Air Force’s Light Combat Aircraft Mk2 program.
