NATO Standardization and Licensing Policy - Exploratory Phase. Volume 2. Main Report

Abstract

Weapons standardization has been an elusive goal of NATO since its founding in 1949. Both the US Congress and the Executive Branch have committed the United States to greater cooperation with European allies in achieving the goals of NATO standardization and interoperability on the basis of a two-way street in weapons selection and acquisition. Both have also singled out licensed production or co-production of weapons developed by another country as a promising device to this end. The following topics are discussed in this volume: US Trends Affecting Licensing and Co-production in NATO; Patterns of Licensed Production and Co-production; European Institutions and Policy Trends; Prospects for Alliance Standardization -- A European industrial perspective; Candidate NATO Requirements for Licensed Production; Licensed Production and the Goal of NATO Standardization, US Experience in Licensing within NATO; and Laws, Policies and Regulations Affecting NATO Licensing.
