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. 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 with 15 different foreign partners. Including prior year project selections, for FY 2020, the following projects will encompass CWP funding in FY 2020 and FY 2021: - Air-Breathing, Long Range Munition Demonstration (US Navy) - Compact, Agile and Lightweight Refractive Infrared Non-Mechanical Beam Steering (US Navy) - Autonomous & Robotic Remote Refueling Point for Tactical Rotary Wing Aircraft (US Army) - Collaborative and Heterogeneous Counter small Unmanned Aerial Systems (US Army) - Common Space Hazard and Threat Awareness (US Air Force) - Micro Aerial Chemical Detection System (US Army) - Mid-Latitude Plasma Density Irregularities (US Air Force) - Development & Optimization of Nano-Grained Boron Carbide Ceramic Armor (US Army) - Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Threat Characterization in Jordan: Toward a MERS Vaccine (US Army) - Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition for Space-based Sensors (US Navy) - Virtual Interoperability Prototyping Research Environment (OSD) - Wideband AR Surfaces for Warfighter Systems (US Navy) - 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.
