| Summary: | This report is intended to inform nations and organizations that are considering whether and how to engage in international joint development programs. It provides a framework of best practices, focused on major defense acquisition but with relevance beyond it, for the design and management of these programs. Nations often engage in international joint development out of necessity, because the military capabilities they require are too complex for their domestic industries to produce independently. Even when some partners can produce a system independently, nations have chosen to enter into international joint development programs in order to improve interoperability, economies of scale or relationships with partners and allies. Because of this, the question of whether to engage in international joint development may seem simple, but the question of how remains. This paper recommends setting a higher burden of proof for international joint development programs when analyzing costs and benefits. However, this does not mean that international projects should be ruled out. Future collaboration efforts, designed after careful analysis of the characteristics and best practices presented in this paper, are more likely to achieve successful outcomes. |
