Addressing the Impacts of Proliferator State Advanced Conventional Weapons: The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (ISN/CTR) is pleased to announce an open competition for assistance awards through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). ISN/CTR sponsors foreign assistance activities funded by the Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining and Related Programs (NADR) account, and focuses on mitigating weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and WMD-related delivery systems proliferation and security threats from non-state actors and proliferator states. ISN/CTR builds foreign partner capacity to counter proliferator state's advanced conventional weapons (ACW) procurement and proliferation networks. The Kremlin's recent announcement of a partial mobilization along with its need to resupply existing occupying forces in Ukraine is expected to increase Russia's demand for additional weapon systems and critical defense technologies, either domestically produced or imported from abroad. Russia's war in Ukraine continues to demonstrate the failures and deficiencies inherent in Russian ACW to prospective buyers. Russia's continued war in Ukraine is pushing it closer to regimes such as Iran and PRC for access to international markets, critical supply-chains, and as seen in the case with Iran, weapons systems such as attack drones for use in Ukraine.
