The recently concluded Basic Exchange and Co-operation agreement (BECA) is the third foundational defence deal signed between the US and India in the past five years.
The three deals, the Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement (COMCASA), Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) and BECA, are a strong reflection of the deepening bilateral military ties between the two nations.
BECA is being hailed as a landmark deal as it gives India access to geospatial data from US military satellites which will prove to be critical in tracking enemy positions and movements during the war and the availability of real-time location information will also help the country in disaster management during natural calamities. These three deals are built on a strong foundation of mutual trust between the two countries and set the stage for further economic and security co-operation going forward.
