Exploitation of Foreign Items

This Project provides for the acquisition, exploitation, and inventory of foreign ground materiel with potential advanced technology threats to United States (U.S.) systems, as well as emerging and destructive threats. The primary aim of the Project is to maximize the efficiency of research and development for force and materiel development by reducing the uncertainties associated with these threats. The Project also answers scientific and technical intelligence requirements, provides materiel for realistic testing and training, and aids in the development of countermeasures to threat systems, materiel, and technologies. Operations have increased the amount of captured threat materiel that require immediate exploitation to develop countermeasures and force protection measures for U.S. forces. Acquisition and exploitation are executed according to Army Foreign Materiel Program (FMP) Plan prioritization and with the approval of the G2.
