Discussion CRADAs are authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3710(a).1 A CRADA promotes the transfer of technology to the private sector for commercial use, as well as specified research or development efforts that are consistent with the mission of the Federal parties to the CRADA. The Federal party or parties agree with one or more non-Federal parties to share research resources, but the Federal party does not contribute funding. CRADAs are not procurement contracts. Care is taken to ensure that CRADAs are not used to circumvent the contracting process. CRADAs have a specific purpose and should not be confused with procurement contracts, grants, and other type of agreements. Under the proposed CRADA, the Coast Guard’s Research and Development Center (R&DC) will collaborate with one or more nonFederal participants. Together, the R&DC and the non-Federal participants will identify the capabilities, benefits, risks, and technical limitations of enhancing the SF280HD–EP to operate in support of USCG missions. We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s contributions under the proposed CRADA will include the following: (1) In conjunction with the nonFederal participant(s), assist in developing the evaluation test plan to be executed under the CRADA; (2) Provide the small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) test range, test range support, facilities, and all approvals required for SUAS operation under the CRADA; (3) Provide airborne targets, operators, and associated equipment necessary to conduct the evaluation test plan; (4) Coordinate and receive any Unmanned Flight Clearance (UFC) for the evaluations to be executed under this CRADA, as required, to include: Privacy Threshold Analysis, Privacy Impact Assessment, Spectrum Approval with the Office of Information Assurance and Spectrum Policy (CG– 65), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Local Range 1 The statute confers this authority on the head of each Federal agency.
