(GA-ASI), a leading manufacturer of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems solutions, today announced that it plans to expand its presence in India and open an office in New Delhi by the end of the year.
GA-ASI recognizes the importance of India and looks forward to working more closely with the Indian Government from its new local office. The company plans to increase collaboration with India in the areas of maritime security and maritime domain awareness, which are key missions for the Indian Ministry of Defense and the Indian Navy.
