B. Technical Requirements 1.

Government participation in Annual Meeting of the GRI Aerospace Bloc Consortium as scheduled during the calendar year.

2.

Access by Department of War personnel (US Navy, US Army, USAF) to projects, reports, and data collected from research and development programs completed by the GRI Aerospace Bloc Consortium, deemed proprietary to that group, via the Pennsylvania State University, Applied Research Laboratory, ARL Exchange (ARLEX) portal.

3.

Allocation for one vote as the Department of War for GRI Aerospace Bloc Consortium members to prioritize new project proposals and other matters that require a Consortium membership vote for consensus.
