Adani partners with Sparton to develop anti-submarine warfare solutions for Indian Navy, promoting 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative.
Billionaire Gautam Adani's group has signed a deal with a U.S. undersea warfare company Sparton to develop electronic sensors and navigation systems that could be used for anti-submarine warfare, the conglomerate said on Sunday.
Adani Defence & Aerospace has signed a binding collaboration agreement with Sparton (DeLeon Springs LLC) to assemble anti-submarine warfare (ASW) solutions for the Indian Navy, it said in a statement.
The partnership aims to localise the assembly of sonobuoys and other ASW systems in India under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative. It will be the first private company in India to offer indigenous sonobuoy solutions to the Indian Navy.
Headquartered in De Leon Springs, Florida, Sparton develops, produces and supplies electronic systems to support undersea warfare for the U.S. Navy and allied military forces. The firm was acquired in December 2020 by the Israeli defence electronics company Elbit Systems Ltd.
Prior to this deal, the Adani Group had, in 2018, established a joint venture partnership with Israeli weapons giant Elbit Systems to manufacture lethal Hermes 900 drones. In 2020, Adani-Elbit announced production of 'mini' drone missile weapons.
Adani Group has also partnered with Israel Weapon Industries to manufacture assault weapons, sniper rifles, and machine guns.
In a statement on Sunday, Adani Defence & Aerospace said it "has signed a binding collaboration agreement with Sparton (DeLeon Springs LLC), a group company of Elbit Systems and a leading provider of advanced anti-submarine warfare systems. This partnership marks a significant step toward localising the assembly of complex electronic systems and advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) solutions for the Indian and global markets".
