Explanation –
The Defense Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) is a bilateral initiative between India and the United States aimed at promoting cooperation in defense technology and trade.
While the Quad is not exclusively a defense cooperation initiative, it has a significant focus on defense and security cooperation. The four countries have conducted joint military exercises, shared information on maritime security, and promoted cooperation in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
INDUS-X is a joint initiative between India and the US to promote defense innovation collaboration.
The Artemis Accords, on the other hand, are a set of principles for responsible and peaceful exploration and use of space.
