Description
Mission — Nato Coop R&D
Funds are used for air, space, and cyber international cooperative research, and development (ICR&D) agreements with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states, major non-NATO allies and friendly foreign countries. Each of the approved ICR&D projects are required to have a concluded international agreement (IA), prior to funds being released, that implements the provisions of Title 10 U.S. Code, Section 2350a. This legislation (Title 10 U.S. Code, Section 2350a) authorizes funds to significantly improve U.S. and allied conventional defense capabilities by leveraging the best defense technologies, eliminating costly duplication of R&D efforts, accelerating the availability of defense systems, and promoting U.S. and allied interoperability or commonality. These funds will not be used for government civilian salaries, permanent construction, or spent overseas. This program element funds the implementation of DAF ICR&D agreements in (1) Basic Research (2) Applied Research (3) Advanced Technology Development (4) Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (5) System Development and Demonstration and (6) RDT&E Management Support. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)
International Cooperative Research and Development
Supports bi- and multi-lateral international agreements that meet DAF RDT&E objectives and goals. Each of the projects receiving NATO R&D funding must meet 2 or more of the following requirements: enhance warfighter capabilities; increase coalition interoperability; accelerate the availability of defense systems; strengthen coalition partnerships; gain access to the best technologies, capabilities, techniques, and/or facilities/test ranges; build or sustain partnerships/influence with strategically important nations; and eliminate duplication of R&D efforts.
