The U.K. is keen to help India in its quest to develop maritime electric-propulsion technology for its future warships and both sides have held two rounds of discussions to discuss how the cooperation can be taken forward, according to the U.K.’s top military officer. The two sides are also discussing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for military training, said Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of U.K., who is on a three-day visit to India which concluded on April 19.
His visit is the latest in a series of high-level visits from the U.K. and continuing military-to-military engagements between the two countries.

“One of the topics under debate at the moment is a training memorandum of understanding which would allow the U.K. and Indian forces to have this training ethos and basis for us to come together in the future. And that’s across all domains, land, air, and maritime,” Adm. Radakin said speaking to a select group of journalists.
“And then the final piece is the other domains in terms of space and cyber. The U.K. is proud of being a joint force where maritime air and land work together we’re looking to more strongly include space and cyber domains.”
Giving an overview of the conversation during his visit, the visiting Admiral, referring to defence industry cooperation and India’s Make in India effort, talked about how the U.K. contributed to it. “There are lots of ways and they’re exciting ways. The sharing of maritime electric propulsion. We’ve been on that journey for 20 years, so can we help India to accelerate and know everything that we’ve learned over the last 20 years? We are doing that. Various working groups have come to India we’ve had a working group in U.K.,” he stated.
