India is particularly interested in drones, carrier technology and so on that enhance its ability to project its air and naval power.
The Navy soon plans to launch a new program to develop an operational unmanned combat aircraft, which will involve fielding up to half a dozen armed drones on carriers by the end of the decade as part of what's called the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike program.
Petersen also reports that the Navy has flown drones from aircraft carriers, and drone cargo helicopters are already in use in Afghanistan by the Marine Corps.
"The US doesn't fly drones off aircraft carriers so they would need basing and overflight rights.
Among other options being considered are: downsizing the second carrier to a much cheaper platform for helicopters, marine commandos, and unmanned drones; building both carriers but selling one, perhaps to India; and equipping them with cheaper catapult-launched aircraft.
So why can't they process a claim that fast?" The same military that lavishes attention on its drones and aircraft carriers seems to take its people for granted.
A wish-list of their desired weapons, reportedly sent to the Pentagon, includes Javelin anti-tank missiles, air defence systems, armoured personnel carriers, drones and night vision equipment.
Meanwhile, the line between military and police is blurring, as SWAT teams, aerial drones, armored personnel carriers, and fusion centers transform local police departments from public safety agencies into a militarized occupation force deployed across the country.
He emphasized that new technologies would entail spending fewer resources in a smarter way, saying that the Navy had launched an experimental drone from an aircraft carrier last month for the first time.
