Foreign Comparative Testing
Abstract
The FCT Program Element funding supports projects that test and evaluate innovative technologies already developed by partner nations and in doing so, directly aligns to the National Defense Strategy lines of effort: increasing Joint lethality in contested environments, strengthening partnerships, and fostering reform through delivery of capability at the speed of relevance. Individual projects typically average less than $1.200 million each and complete within 12-36 months. Projects are proposed by the Military Services and USSOCOM 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 are selected based on potential to yield cost, schedule, or performance improvements over the status quo.
