Raytheon and Lockheed Martin select Tata for Javelin co-production in India

Tata Advanced Systems and the Javelin Joint Venture — a Raytheon and Lockheed Martin partnership — signed a memorandum of understanding to explore co-production of the Javelin All Up Round missile in India. Under the agreement, the parties will examine setting up final assembly and testing facilities in India. No timeline, production volumes or contract values were disclosed. The deal would mark India's first domestic assembly of the Javelin system.

Why it matters: If it moves beyond MoU, Javelin co-production in India will tighten U.S. supply to the Indo-Pacific and pressure European rivals bidding on New Delhi's anti-armour tenders.

Corroborated contract 2026-08-31

Tata and Javelin Joint Venture sign MoU for Javelin missile co-production in India

Tata Advanced Systems Limited and the Javelin Joint Venture—a partnership between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin—signed a memorandum of understanding on Sunday to co-produce the Javelin All Up Round anti-tank missile in India. The agreement explores establishing a final assembly facility in India and integrating Indian suppliers into the global Javelin supply chain.

Why it matters: India continues to prize U.S. weapons deals that come with technology transfer and local production—if Tata can build Javelins domestically, New Delhi gets industrial depth and export potential, while Washington locks in another large non-NATO customer dependent on American fire-control and seeker tech for decades.
