The Common Defense Framework (CDF, Nylele: Rafitra Fiarovana Iombonana, RAFI) is a multinational arms procurement program of the member states of the Kayatman Security Association. The primary objective of the RAFI program is the development of domestic defense industry capabilities of KSA member states in order to reduce its reliance on arms export from other countries. The program was initiated in 1970 spearheaded by Lieutenant General <INSERT NAME>, the KSA's then Chief of the Center for Innovation & Research (CIR), a department of the KSA responsible for identifying potential improvement opportunities for the KSA both structurally and operationally. Teams of experts from the CIR identified that KSA member states reliance on foreign arms imports and the under investment of its domestic defense industry pose a long term risk to the KSA's ability to remain nominally independent and free from foreign influence. To counter this CIR proposed that each KSA member state should foster the growth of its domestic arms manufacturing capabilities, particulary small arms in the beginning. The Badger MTV represents the first significant milestone and breakthrough in KSA arms manufacturing capabilities, an inexpensive yet reliable vehicle, two values which most if not all KSA military assets would eventually be based upon. Below is a comprehensive list of all known equipment developed by the KSA under the RAFI program.
