Definition
Co-production programs comprise those programs in which the U.S. Government enables an eligible foreign government, international organization, or designated commercial producer to acquire the technical data (TD) and know-how to manufacture or assemble in whole or in part an item of U.S. defense equipment for use in the defense inventory of the foreign government. Co-production programs so defined may be implemented through any one or a combination of international agreements, Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs), and direct commercial agreements subject to U.S. government export licenses.
