Capabilities
Digital Security Cooperation
Foreign Military Sales (FMS), Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) or Hybrid purchases are all paths for international partners to acquire defense articles and services to strengthen their defense capabilities or respond to natural disasters/humanitarian relief efforts. These purchases strengthen partnerships among trading partner nations and furthers the national security interests of both parties. Unfortunately, under the current FMS construct, there is no single, joint data reporting system for the US Government and international purchaser, so it is extremely difficult for either side to effectively monitor case execution and case funds.
The choice of either FMS, DCS or Hybrid sales is driven by the special circumstances and the level of procurement expertise of the international purchaser, rather than by substantive differences in the two methods. Regardless of the choice, both parties would benefit from the use of our secure and affordable AWS FedRamp cloud based digital security cooperation platform, known as DefenseView. Our platform supports collaboration, transparency and auditability. Trading partners who use DefenseView will have the opportunity to leverage ecommerce for resupply and repair and automated processes for case management, follow-on-technical support, end use monitoring and repairable tracking. The benefits of our DefenseView platform, include a reduction in time and cost to delivery, full case transparency from acquire to retire, and a reduction in the purchasers dependency on the manual processes of others.
