The Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geo-Spatial Cooperation or BECA, long in the making, has finally been signed by India and the US.
The agreement will enable India to gain access to extremely accurate geo-spatial data. This is going to have major implications for a range of military aspects, such as giving Indian missiles a killer edge.
Although both sides will share sensitive information under BECA, the agreement is likely to benefit India more. It will give India access to military-grade data "that can help draw up target coordinates".
In essence, these military-grade coordinates can help direct missiles of air-launched bombs to a terror location in the neighborhood with high accuracy.
