Our second International Acquisition and Exportability (IA& E) Podcast explores the International Cooperative Program (ICP) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) options available to DoD Program Managers and Integrated Product Teams for system-level product upgrade and sustainment cooperation with allied/friendly nations who are currently operating U.S. systems. Professor Frank Kenlon analyzes three "real world" scenarios involving use of multilateral and bilateral ICP and FMS product upgrade arrangements, and provides insights and best practice suggestions on which option might work best for your program.

Note: As a listener recently pointed out via the Comment function, the podcast recording volume is too low and hard to hear through laptop speakers. I will explore what we can do technically to boost the volume. As a work around, I recommend listeners connect headphones to your laptop, then listen through the headphones at ~ 75% volume setting.

Thank you for the podcast content. The audio volume was fine.

The sound, even when directly connected to the PC with headphones, is inadequate. I cannot hear the audio.

The sound is not that loud, even with my computer speakers and the video sound turned all the way up, I can barely hear it.

Tracey, Thanks for pointing this out. I listened to it myself this morning, and had to max out the volume to hear it clearly through my laptop speakers. I will explore what we can do technically to boost the volume. As a work around, I recommend you connect headphones to your laptop and listen through headphones. When I did this, I could hear the audio clearly at about 75% volume setting. Best regards, Prof Frank Kenlon
