India is now officially a member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), a voluntary organization of mostly advanced, western countries dedicated to controlling the proliferation of missile technology. The move will open up a range of weapons technologies to India and some in the country hope it will help pave the way to membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group. India developed its nuclear program outside the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and has been hoping to joint the nuclear export club despite not being an NPT signatory.

India is looking to sell its new BrahMos cruise missile abroad with a particular eye towards countries wary of China, Reuters reports. India has jointly developed the missile with Russia, and so far, Vietnam is at the top of a list of potential customers. The Philippines is also rumored to be eyeing a BrahMos purchase, alongside Malaysia, Thailand and United Arab Emirates. India had refrained from offering the missile to country’s locked in territorial disputes with the People's Republic, but experts say Prime Minister Narendra Modi now believes that building a network of defense alliances in the region will provide it greater leverage.

Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.) is hinting that there may be a big U.S.-India defense news announced during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States this week. Defense News reports that the news might involve a Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA), which had been the subject of talks between the U.S. and India during Defense Secretary Ash Carter's visit to the country in April. The LEMOA could allow for the U.S. to engage in defense-related technology transfers. The U.S. is also working on two other agreements with India related to communications security and geospatial intelligence.
