General Comments• Certain aircraft platform jurisdiction separate from military 

systems on the aircraft• Aircraft not subject to independent controls on the systems• Aircraft can be separately exported/valued from systems exported

• Item specific controls for all cargo/transport/utility designated aircraft (e.g., C-40)

• Allows support of EAR (dual use) platform to be EAR services while support to USML systems on the aircraft would be defense services

Page 4: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

General Comments (continued)• If military requirement similar to FAA mandated requirement for 

commercial aircraft, then related systems should be considered EAR • Inert fuel tanks (requirement to inert center fuel tanks)• Basic ballistic protection (cockpit doors, pilot seats, rotor blades)

• Advanced military armor still controlled under USML• Night Vision used in medevac, search and rescue, offshore oil

• Night Vision Goggle compatible for aircraft is EAR• FAA Technical Standard Order (TSO) C164 for Night Vision Goggles used on Emergency Medical Service Helicopters. 

• Night Vision compliant is USML • NVIS compliant documented in MIL SPEC MIL-L-85762A 

• More stringent requirements – Chromaticity (color) requirement NVIS A or B, Spectral Radiance, Sunlight readability (contrast ratio) 

Page 5: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

General Comments (continued)

• Certain types of military aircraft based on age should be removed from USML  • Specific age (50 years since production) • Specific year cutoff (1960)• Applied to aircraft models (F-111A vs. F-111D)

• Obsolete aircraft platforms out of production and not in US Government inventory should not be controlled as a defense article (F-86 Saber)

• Depot level maintenance – ability to do maintenance would follow control level of item (e.g., aircraft platform but not on high tier military system on the platform)

• 17(c) clarification would remain in effect

Page 6: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

Cargo/Transport/Utility Aircraft

• Aircraft functionality that is not military unique does not need to be controlled under USML• Short field takeoff• Heavy load/large capacity• Ballistic protection• Crash tolerance

• Aircraft with military unique functionality / systems controlled under USML (Tier 3)• Air-to-air refueling • Advance airdrop systems• Defensive systems

Page 7: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

Fighter/Bomber/Attack Aircraft

• Aircraft for deploying WMD or containing Tier 1 military systems (Tier 1) 

• General fighter/bomber/attack/specialized (e.g., anti-submarine warfare) aircraft (Tier 2)

• Trainer aircraft that do not have other controlled systems (e.g., afterburners) not capable of combat should not be controlled or if controlled, be done so Tier 3

Page 8: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

Developmental Aircraft

• Developmental aircraft/engine would not be a separate item but technology on the aircraft /engine would be compared to control list to determine level of control• Fighter technology demonstrator controlled as fighter  (Tier 1 or 2) 

Page 9: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

Inertial Navigation Systems

• Consider combining Cat VIII(e) with Cat XII to cover all military inertial in one category

• Export control rationale:– Standard INS less military attributes (e.g., SAASM/GPS, space qualified) subject to dual use controls

– Defense article / dual use item based upon unique functional attributes

– Tiered controls for product and technology based on performance capability level

Page 10: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs)

• Prevalent in both military and in non military use• Control UAVs at level of similar manned aircraft• Attack UAV on USML (Tier 1 or 2)• Utility UAVs (Tier 3 or not controlled) 

Page 11: Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG)

Engines General

• Aero gas turbine engine propulsion systems with military unique attributes controlled on USML (Tier 2)• Thrust augmentation/afterburner• Thrust/exhaust nozzle vectoring• Low observable structures/coatings 

• Aero gas turbine engines without military unique attributes controlled under EAR• Turboprop, turbo shaft and reciprocating engines• Non-propulsion engines (Auxiliary Power Units)

• Engine controls system hardware and software that enable military unique attributes controlled on USML (Tier 2)
