United States Involvement in Codevelopment: An Analysis of the US/FRG V/STOL Fighter Aircraft Project and NATO SEASPARROW Project

Abstract

The study examined a past and a current international codevelopment program to determine if codevelopment projects are capable of attaining the goals of the Military Assistance program. Since the United States has not produced any major defense weapon system through codevelopment projects, this study attempts to identify any common underlying problems that the United States must overcome. The objectives of the two programs were used as guides to examining each program's accomplishments and failures. These results were evaluated against the five stated goals of the Department of Defense as pertains to international codevelopment projects.
