France Hopes to Develop SR-SAM with India
WASHINGTON: France wants to develop a new short-range surface-to-air missile (SR-SAM) in cooperation with India. Negotiations are nearing conclusion, according to Jean-David Levitte, Diplomatic Adviser to French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
This new system may be the Maitri, which may incorporate technology from India's Trishul SAM and MBDA's MICA.
India' state-run Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) released a global RFP for co-development of SR-SAM system. Levitte said the process to secure a foreign partner is underway.
India recently announced orders for the Akash, another indigenously designed missile, and the Israeli-built SPYDER.
