Annex II — Forms of Cooperative Activity Verdrag tussen de regering van het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de regering van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika inzake wetenschappelijke en technologische samenwerking betreffende nationale en civiele veiligheid
Forms of Cooperative Activity
Cooperative Activities may include the following:
a) research and development of innovative technologies, solutions, and systems to meet user requirements or capability gaps of the Parties and the Participants;
b) development and implementation of all-hazards threat, vulnerability, and consequence assessments, interdependency analyses, and methodologies related to potential threats to homeland/civil security scenarios;
c) assessment of prior operational experiences and evaluation for the purposes of articulating operational deficiencies into definable technical requirements and appropriate standards and supporting methodologies;
d) task forces to examine emergent homeland/civil security challenges;
e) studies and scientific or technical demonstrations;
f) organization of pilots and demonstration projects, scientific seminars, conferences, symposia, and workshops;
g) joint use of laboratory facilities and Equipment and Material, for conducting scientific and technological activities including research, development, testing and evaluation;
h) use and optimization of existing technologies for defense against terrorism, natural disasters, and other homeland/civil security threats;
i) testing and evaluation of specific prototype systems for homeland/civil security applications in both laboratory environments and real or simulated operational settings. This includes technologies associated with enhanced detection and monitoring of potential terrorist activities and those associated with recovery and reconstitution of damaged or compromised systems;
j) preparation of detailed final test reports to allow either Party or their Participants to evaluate follow-on efforts individually or to allow the transition of successful prototypes into operational deployments;
k) system protection (including protection of automated infrastructure control systems) and information assurance (including protecting the integrity of data and information in control systems);
l) analysis of and cooperation in educational programming for the purpose of enhancing and encouraging the Parties’ scientific and technical capability as it relates to homeland/civil security;
m) access to the education and training programs of the Parties;
n) visits and exchanges of scientists, researchers, engineers, or other appropriate personnel;
o) exchanges or sharing of Equipment and Material;
p) development and exchange of information on laws, regulations, best practices, standards, methods, guidelines, and programs relevant to cooperation under this Agreement; and
q) commercialization and other exploitation of Project Foreground Information and any resulting Equipment and Material developed through Cooperative Activity to achieve the effective transition of technology from the research and development environment to the operational environment.
