The COMPACT Framework (Catalyzing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce, and Technology) serves as a pivotal mechanism in strengthening India-US strategic ties across defence, trade, and technology sectors. This research article examines the key policy measures necessary to ensure its long-term success, focusing on regulatory alignment, defence cooperation, trade facilitation, supply chain resilience, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. The paper highlights the importance of harmonising legal frameworks, fostering joint research collaborations, and enhancing maritime security in the Indo-Pacific region. Further, it explores the geopolitical implications of COMPACT and the challenges posed by bureaucratic barriers, strategic misalignments, and cybersecurity threats. The findings suggest that sustaining COMPACT requires bipartisan political support, institutionalised cooperation mechanisms, and a clear roadmap for economic and technological collaboration. By implementing forward-looking policies, India and the US can bolster military interoperability, drive economic growth, and position themselves as global leaders in innovation and security.
