POLICY JUSTIFICATION
India--Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness
The Government of India has requested to buy SeaVision software
(including requested software enhancements); Technical Assistance Field
Team (TAFT) training; remote software and analytic support; access to
SeaVision documentation; and other related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated total cost is $131 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national
security objectives of the U.S. by helping to strengthen the U.S.-
Indian strategic relationship and to improve the security of a major
defense partner which continues to be an important force for political
stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South
Asia regions.
The proposed sale will improve India's capability to meet current
and future threats by bolstering its maritime domain awareness,
analytical capabilities, and strategic posture. India will have no
difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the
basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Hawkeye 360, located in Herndon,
VA. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset
agreement proposed
[[Page 1767]]
in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be
defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the
assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor
representatives to India.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a
result of this proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 25-22
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section
36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. SeaVision is a web-based maritime situational awareness tool
that enables users to view and share a broad array of maritime
information to improve maritime operations, increase maritime security,
and build partnerships within the maritime community. As part of its
alignment with the Indo-Pacific Maritime Domain Awareness (IPMDA)
initiative, SeaVision provides access to available commercial data
sources, including commercial radio frequency (RF), Automatic
Identification System (AIS), imagery, and ship registry data. This sale
also offers Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT) training, remote
software and analytic support, and comprehensive SeaVision
documentation to further enhance maritime domain awareness and
cooperation.
2. The highest level of classification of defense articles,
components, and services included in this potential sale is
UNCLASSIFIED.
3. If a technologically advanced adversary were to obtain knowledge
of the specific hardware and software elements, the information could
be used to develop countermeasures that might reduce system
effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made that India can provide
substantially the same degree of protection for the sensitive
technology being released as the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national
security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
5. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of India.
