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.

Description
Mission — International Cooperative Research & Development
The mission of this program is to establish, sustain, expand, and enhance mutually beneficial international partnerships through the implementation of air, space, and cyber international armament cooperation (IAC) agreements thereby supporting Department of the Air Force (DAF) and Department of Defense (DoD) goals and objectives. These International Agreements (IAs) will: significantly improve U.S. and allied conventional defense capabilities and capacity; accelerate the availability of defense systems; solve capability gaps; develop, acquire, upgrade, sustain, and/or support interoperable equipment with our allies; create cooperative acquisition, production, or logistic partnerships; promote mutual and equitable sharing of effort, cost, information, and risk; provide access to remote or operational test sites; leverage economies of scale; and promote interoperability with our allies. The DAF is party to more than 680 current air, space, and cyber bilateral and multilateral IAs to solve U.S. and allied military capability gaps, develop materiel solutions, harmonize requirements, and build interoperability with our international partners. This program element funds the DAF to identify, develop, process, negotiate, conclude, implement, and manage IAs in compliance with statutory provisions, legal authorities, fiscal constraints, technology transfer controls, intellectual property rights, third party transfer provisions, equitability criteria, industrial base factors, political-military interests, and the National Defense Strategy (NDS). Included in this budget are: air, space, and cyber IAC and IA activities; specialized working groups; Air Senior National Representative (ASNR) activities; technology assessments; requirements development; Engineering and Scientist Exchange Program (ESEP); and Administrative and Professional Exchange Program (APEP). This program is in Budget Activity 6, RDT&E Management Support because this budget activity includes research, development, test and evaluation efforts and funds to sustain and/or modernize the installations or operations required for general research, development, test and evaluation.

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 International Activities. 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? →
