The North American Technology and Industrial Base Organization (NATIBO) fosters cooperative planning for technology and industrial base program development among and between the Defense Departments of the U.S. and Canada. The NATIBO objectives are to: * Promote the development, administration, communication, and execution of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Canadian Department of National Defense (DND) technology and industrial base programs and policies. * Foster cooperation between the Governments of the United States and Canada in development of coordinated technology and industrial base policies and programs. * Leverage resources through cost sharing and economies of scale afforded through coordinated studies and projects involving research, development, industrial capability, and logistics programs. * Promote the exchange of technology and industrial base data between Canada and the U.S., the military services, other government agencies, and industry. * Promote coordination of technology and industrial base planning and insertion programs undertaken by the responsible U.S. and Canadian departments and agencies in support of their national security responsibilities. * Ensure that North American technology and industrial base considerations are taken into account during U.S. or Canadian military and/or civilian emergency planning activities. * Enhance the national security of both nations by promoting the competitiveness of the North American technology and industrial base. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DoD and DND for North American Technology and Industrial Base (NATIB) Activities was signed on 30 May 2001. The MOU is an umbrella document that covers research, development, technical demonstration and technology insertion activity in the two Defense Departments.
