Revision of DAPE Agreement: From Memorandum of Agreement to Memorandum of Understanding

The DAPE agreement, originally signed in 2008 and updated in 2013, is undergoing significant revisions for the current fiscal year. Following directives from AF/A3O-W, the AFWA will draft changes based on AF GC review comments. Key observations indicate that current authorities cited do not justify funding transfers, and annexes must possess sufficient authority to support financial transactions. The proposal includes rewriting the DAPE as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with an expanded scope to enhance agency interactions, such as operational and R&D collaborations.

  1. 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
