Coalition Warfare Program (Continuing Projects)
Abstract
CWP provides funding on a competitive basis to DoD organizations to conduct cooperative research, development, test, and evaluation projects with foreign partners. The goals of the CWP program are to: collaboratively address strategic technology gaps for current and future missions, develop interoperability solutions for coalition operations, and strengthen current defense partnerships and developing new relationships. CWP selects projects for funding through an annual competitive selection process in accordance with Department of Defense and Combatant Command needs. Overall, the program provided additional funding to projects that began in earlier selection cycles. Currently, the funded portfolio includes projects with 13 different foreign partners. Including prior year project selections, for FY 2019 selections, the following projects will encompass CWP funding in FY 2019 and FY 2020: -Cold Rapid Airfield Damage Repair Solutions (US Air Force) -Autonomous Hybrid Vertical Take-Off and Landing Unmanned Aerial Systems (VTOL UAS) Carrier (US Navy) -Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare Resource Allocation Management (US Navy) -Improvised Explosive Device Camera (US Navy) -Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) Accelerometers Navigation-Grade (US Army) -Mission Partner Environment Gateway – extended (OSD CIO) -Measurements and Signals Intelligence (MASINT) sharing for Advanced Indications and Warnings (US Army) -Solid Propellant Enhanced Air-Breathing Rotating Detonation Engine Demonstration (US Navy) -Scintillation Prediction Observations Research Task (USSOUTHCOM) -Tactical High-Speed, RESponsive and Highly-Efficient Round (THRESHER) Propulsion Boost Through Burn (US Air Force) -Interoperability and Collaboration Initiatives: Program provides funds in support of new or planned acquisition programs with the aim of 1) promoting coalition interoperability early in the requirements or technical development phases, 2) harmonizing common goals between U.S. and foreign partners, 3) improving management of collaborative efforts.
