Tata Signs Deal to Co-Produce Javelin Missiles in India

Tata Advanced Systems Limited has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Javelin Joint Venture, a partnership between Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, to explore the co-production of Javelin anti-tank guided missiles in India. The agreement, announced on August 31, 2026, designates Tata Advanced Systems as the "prime partner" for future in-country production efforts. This development follows closely after India and the United States formalized a government-to-government contract for the purchase of 100 Javelin missile systems.
