India and the US are participating along with other partner countries for the multi-national anti-submarine warfare (ASW) exercise 'Sea Dragon 2022' at the Andersen Air Force Base in Guam in the western Pacific.
Sea Dragon is a US led multi-national exercise designed to practice and discuss anti-submarine warfare tactics to operate together in response to traditional and non-traditional maritime security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.
The other force which are part of the exercise are the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Indian Navy, Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force, and Republic of Korea Navy.
The Indian Navy has recently inducted two more Poseidon 8I maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft, which would further boost its ability to keep an eye over the Chinese ships and submarines in the region.
