The US Defence Security Cooperation Agency notified the US Congress in late June of its decision to supply 22 Boeing Harpoon submarine-launched anti-ship missiles to the Indian Navy (IN) for USD200 million via the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) route.
The notification followed the IN's 2012 request for Harpoons to provide missile-firing capability to its four German HDW Type 209/1500 SSK submarines following a mid-life upgrade.
The notification was for 12 UGM-84L Harpoon Block II Encapsulated missiles and 10 UGM-84L Encapsulated training missiles. The package also includes two Encapsulated Harpoon certification training vehicles, containers, and spares, IN personnel training and all-inclusive logistics support.
