WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States aims to secure agreements with India to start pilot projects for joint production of drones as well as equipment for transport planes in talks next week ahead of a visit by President Barack Obama, a U.S. industry source said on Wednesday.

Frank Kendall, U.S. undersecretary of defence for acquisition, technology and logistics, will be making his fourth visit to India to promote collaboration on defence technologies and co-production of weapons systems in an effort to finalise the projects.
