The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2017 book requested $9.87M for FY2017; the PB2019 book reported $8.57M as actual total obligation authority — $1.30M below the request. 8.6 − 9.9 = -1.3 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — NATO Research and Deve
In accordance with Title 10 United States Code, Section 2350a, this Program Element (PE) provides funding for research and development (R&D) programs with approved allies under international agreements. These funds can only be applied to work efforts in the U.S. The Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition and Sustainment (USD, A&S) must approve each international agreement. The program provides funds for multiple projects under separately approved international agreements as well as funds that support the establishment of such agreements. Each international agreement is summarized in a separate Summary Statement of Intent (SSOI) that also states why the project serves to increase the defense capabilities of the U.S. The SSOI is used to obtain project approval by the Department of the Navy and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) R&D cooperative programs differ from other Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) programs because issuance of funding from this Program Element (PE) coincides with the signature of international agreements. These signatures occur throughout the fiscal year and often encounter unexpected delays during the staffing and negotiation phases of agreement processing prior to signature.

This NATO Research and Development program funds U.S. activities to support the identification and implementation of International Agreements (IAs) intended to address Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) priorities and identified interoperability gaps. - Projects depend on commitment of U.S. and allies, and are subject to imprecise staffing timelines (funding typically provided when international agreement is signed, often later in the Fiscal Year (FY)). - Funds must be identified/committed early (1-2 years prior) to indicate support during processing (in Summary Statement of Intent). - These funds only constitute a portion of U.S. project funding.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not NATO Research and Development. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
