India, the top global arms importer, is in talks to export drones and spy equipment to the U.S. and its allies as the world’s largest democracies boost security ties, two Indian defense officials with knowledge of the matter said.
AeroVinronment Inc.’s Raven drone and Lockheed Martin Corp.’s ‘Roll On-Roll Off’ kits, which turn jumbo transport jets into surveillance aircraft, are set to be made in India and sold overseas, according to the officials, who asked not to be identified because the discussions were confidential.
