Weapon System Partnerships A Weapon System Partnership (WSP) is an association of two or more NAMSO nations set up to manage aspects of common logistics support for specific weapon systems or defence-related equipment through NAMSA. A WSP is formally established through the conclusion of an agreement between the participating nations and its approval by the NAMSO Board of Directors (BOD). WSPs constitute an integral part of NAMSO and share in the juridical personality enjoyed by NAMSO. The activities of a WSP are directed by a Weapon System Partnership Committee (WSPC), chaired by one of the member nations. Through the WSPC, nations make collective decisions on policy issues for logistics support, configuration management and sharing of associated operational and administrative costs, based on mutually agreed cost sharing formulae. The NAMSO BOD may also authorize NATO organisations and Partnership for Peace (PfP) states to participate in a WSP, under terms and conditions approved by the BOD. Support Conferences Another possibility for cooperation is through a Support Conference (SC), where a group of national and Agency experts meet to arrange cooperation related to common weapon systems or equipment. Support Conferences are usually chaired and managed by NAMSA. For further information please contact Public Relations. |
