Explanation

The Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) is a bilateral forum established between India and the United States of America [2]. Conceived in 2012 and operationalized in 2014, the DTTI serves as a flexible mechanism to strengthen the India-US defense partnership by moving beyond a traditional 'buyer-seller' relationship toward co-development and co-production of defense technologies. The initiative is co-chaired by the Indian Ministry of Defence and the US Department of Defense, with meetings typically held twice a year [1]. It has acted as a 'silent enabler' for significant milestones, such as the US designating India as a 'Major Defence Partner' and granting it Strategic Trade Authorization (STA-1) status. These efforts aim to align the research and development sectors of both nations to enhance interoperability and industrial collaboration in the Indo-Pacific region [2].
