Overview
- The U.S. State Department approved a potential $131 million Foreign Military Sale to India for Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA) software and related support.
- The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) formally notified Congress of the proposed sale on April 30, 2025, as part of standard procedural requirements.
- India's request includes SeaVision software, technical training, remote analytical support, and access to related documentation to enhance maritime surveillance capabilities.
- The sale aligns with U.S. foreign policy objectives, strengthening the U.S.-India strategic partnership and improving India's ability to address regional maritime threats.
- Hawkeye 360, based in Herndon, Virginia, will serve as the principal contractor for the deal, which will not alter the regional military balance.
