20 AFRL International Enterprise AFOSR Public Domain Activity AFRL International Technology Office Govt-to-Govt Agreements Facilitate and Catalyze AFRL Int l Talent Scouts All of of AFRL is is the International Enterprise 20

21 AFOSR International Enterprise 21

22 People Programs Window-on-Science Flagship Program Sends top international scientists to present their research in the U.S. Very Simple to Request Can Send to Bases/Universities/Conferences 221 WOS visits from 33 countries in 2009 Basic research knows no no political boundaries 22

23 People Programs (Cont.) Window-on-the-World (WOW) Allows AFRL scientists to do research at nongovernmental institutes overseas AFOSR Pays TDY Costs Up to 179 Days Can Also be Used for Technology Assessments 11 participants to 6 different countries in FY09 NRC Associateship Program Brings domestic AND foreign researchers into lab 11 of 58 current participants non-us citizens 23

24 Conference Support Program Promotes conferences and workshops Focused on topics of interest to the DoD Facilitates attendance/access by U.S. researchers Potential for free registrations/proceedings Venue to discover Window-on-Science candidates 109 conferences supported in 35 Countries in 2009 Groundbreaking research is is found world-wide 24

25 Research Projects Proposals respond to AFOSR Broad Agency Announcements Projects at universities/institutes: Most start at 1 year and modest funds ($25-50K is typical) 254 grants/contracts with 34 countries in FY09 Huge foreign matching: Direct matching + fee waivers Equipment in place Low overheads Results: Acquire new knowledge / understanding / technology Build teams Shift effort and funding toward AF goals HyShot scramjet 25

26 Country-to-Country Fora Visiting Delegations Technology Assessment Site Visits AFRL Led Bi-Lateral Fora SAF, OSD, DoS, etc. Bi-Laterals Multi-Lateral Fora RTO TTCP 26

27 NATO Research & Technology Organization (RTO) Advisory Group to NATO Leverages the S&T infrastructure of 28 NATO and 22 PfP countries Promotes interoperability among Alliance member services Six executive-level panels/group Applied Vehicle Technology Human Factors and Medicine Information Systems Technology Systems Analysis and Studies Sensors & Electronics Technologies NATO Modeling and Simulation Group 161 current activities, including working groups, technical teams, lecture series, and symposia 27

28 The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) Research collaboration between five English-speaking countries US UK Canada Australia New Zealand 11 Technology and Systems Groups 80 Technical Panels and Action Groups 1,200 S&E s from three US services and other TTCP Nations Reported research valued at $500M 28

29 International Agreements Data/Information Exchange Annexes (D/IEAs) 88 Agreements, 18 Countries Project Arrangements/Agreements (PAs) and Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) 54 Projects (44 pending), 13 Countries ~$400M Leveraged Loan Agreements International Cooperative Research & Development Agreements Engineer & Scientist Exchange Program (ESEP) 29

30 Engineer and Scientist Exchange Program (ESEP) Established in December 1963 with Germany Exists with 17 countries today: Australia, Canada, Chile, Egypt, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Norway, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, United Kingdom AF currently has 5 abroad, 7 selected to start in 2010, and hosting 15 DoD in negotiation with Brazil, Czech Republic, India Over 1500 foreign nationals and over 140 USAF participants since inception Ties that last a lifetime 30

31 External Programs International Cooperative Research & Development (ICR&D) Projects Managed by SAF/IA Provides ICR&D funds to match AFRL investment Includes NATO and major non-nato allies, and Friendly Foreign Countries $2.85M Air, $0.58M Space in FY10 25% / 25% / 50% Leveraging of funds Coalition Warfare Program (CWP) Managed by OUSD(AT&L)/IC Includes all potential coalition partners Fosters RDT&E programs that improve coalition interoperability of US forces ~$1M/yr (all DoD) 25% / 25% / 50% Leveraging of funds 31

32 External Programs (Cont.) Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) Program Managed by OSD Comparative Testing Office Supports T&E of non-developmental items with the potential to Satisfy valid defense requirements Improve USAF operational performance ~$35M/yr (all DoD) 32

33 Conclusions Creativity and expertise are found worldwide Relationships are at the foundation of successful collaboration - Public Domain Interaction - Government-to-Government Fora - International Agreements - Targeted International Programs Are all integral to the enterprise AFRL s International Enterprise Ensuring USAF access to to the world s best science and technology 33
