Foreign Comparative Testing
Abstract
The FCT Program Element funding supports projects that evaluate pre-Engineering and Manufacturing Development (pre-EMD) and proof of principle prototypes derived from innovative allied nation developed technologies to counter emerging threats. Individual projects typically average less than $1.200 million each and complete within 24-36 months. Projects are proposed by the Military Services and SOCOM and are selected using a merit-based process that identifies the most promising, innovative, and cost-effective solutions to validated warfighter requirements, with an emphasis on transitioning technologies into current or future programs of record. Projects selected based on the potential to yield cost, schedule, or performance improvements over the status quo.
