NATO Cooperative R & D
Abstract
In accordance with Title 10 United States Code, Section 2350a, this 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 PE coincides with the signature of international agreements. 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.
