India intends to buy General Atomics-built unmanned aerial systems designed for maritime surveillance operations through an estimated $2 billion government-to-government deal with the U.S., Business Standard reported Thursday.
The report said India will order 22 units of unarmed Sea Guardian UAS, a naval version of the Predator B platform.
