Coalition Warfare Program Management Plan. Nominations for Fiscal Years 2013-2014

Abstract

To address the need for interoperability the Department of Defense established the Coalition Warfare Program (CWP) program element (0603923D8Z) under the authority of the Office of the Under secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and logistics (OUSD(AT&L)). CWP provides seed funding to DoD organizations that conduct cooperative research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) projects with foreign partners. It is the only Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) program dedicated to initiating cooperative research, development, test and evaluations (RDT&E) projects with allies and coalition partners. As national defense budgets decline, international engagements aimed at the development and sustainment of military capabilities will grow in importance. The Coalition Warfare Program is administered by the Office of the Director of International Cooperation (IC), OUSD (AT&L). Director, IC is the approval authority for selection and funding of CWP projects. The Deputy Director for CWP serves as the senior OSD point of contact for the Program. The OUSD(AT&L)/IC CWP staff, reporting to the Deputy Director for CWP, oversee the entire proposal-to-project execution cycle, maintain the budget, and monitor the use of CWP funds by the Project Teams. Once proposals are submitted, the CWP Team puts them through several stages of review and nomination refinement before selecting the top candidates for the Subject Matter Experts (SME) Review Panel and Embassy Reviews. The CWP Team utilizes a broad range of experts in DoD and in our foreign partners' embassies to select projects that best enable coalition solutions and meet the needs of the Department and our partners. Upon approval, CWP provides funding to the Project Team to execute according to the project plan.
