DAPE Agreement 1 • Original Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed 2008 • MOA update staffed and signed Sep 2013 with minimal changes • New agreement in-place for current fiscal year; AF/A3O-W directed AFWA pursue revision to align with AF GC review comments • AF GC observations: • MOA’s cited authorities do not, alone, justify more than a coming together of agencies to pursue common goals; insufficient alone to support funding transfer • References to allocation of contract termination liabilities should be removed • Annexes should cite sufficient authority to function as stand alone agreements to support any specified financial transactions (i.e., function like a MOA) • AFWA taking lead to develop first draft of revised DAPE and ESDA • Propose DAPE be rewritten as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) • Propose slight broadening of DAPE scope beyond data exchange to facilitate inclusion of additional interactions between agencies in annexes (e.g., operational, back-up, and R&D collaboration) • Ensure ESDA/new annexes contain sufficient authority for funding transfer
