Three pieces in this topic
Cooperative research and development agreements
Cooperative R&D agreements with NATO, allies, the EU and friendly countries require equitable cost sharing, and side-by-side testing can count as competition.
02Cooperative projects under the Arms Export Control Act
AECA section 27 cooperative projects share full cost equitably, bar workshare demands outside the agreement, and need a numbered certification 30 days before signing.
03Foreign contributions and burden sharing
Partner project contributions pay only the partner’s share, and burden sharing cash funds local staff, construction, supplies and support for forces abroad.
