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 and future defense partnerships. CWP selects projects for funding through an annual competitive selection process in accordance with Department of Defense and Combatant Command needs. In addition to funding newly selected projects, the program also provides funding to projects that began in earlier selection cycles (for a total of up to three years of funding for each project). Currently, the funded portfolio includes projects governed by negotiated/signed international agreements with 19 different foreign partners. Including prior year project selections, the following FY 2021 projects encompass CWP funding in FY 2021 and FY 2022: •Collaborative Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the Tactical Edge (CATE) (US Army) •Air-launched Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for Extended-range Communications (ALAUS) (US Air Force) •Diagnostic Applied to Heterogeneous Multi-phase Reactive Blast (HMRB) (DTRA) •High Speed Sensors, Materials, Airframes, and Controls (HSMAC) (US Air Force) •Integrated Threat Awareness - Coalition (ITAC) (US Army) •Low-Light Automated Identification System for Maritime Domain Awareness (LLAMDA) (US Navy) •Stealth Ultra Low-Power Underwater Sensors (LPS) (US Navy) •Lightweight Transparent Armor (LWTA) (US Navy) •A Review of Surface Analysis Technologies for Increasing Robustness of Composite Bonding in the Fleet (SAT-IRCB) (US Navy) •Manufacturing Alloys for Near-Net Turbine Applications to Supersonic (MANTAS) (US Air Force) •Synthetic Environment Enhanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Wargaming, Course of Action Analysis, Decision Making, and Training (WARGAMING) (US Army) 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. Funds support workshops, risk reduction efforts, standards development, architecture analysis, and information management initiatives.
