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/uti
  lity 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

4
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)

5
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

6
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

7
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

8
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)

9
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

10
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)

11
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)

Parts and Components

• Aircraft/engine parts and components with same
  functionality as similar items on commercial
  aircraft under EAR or USML Tier 3
• Parts Nuts, bolts, screws, stringers, brackets,
  clamps, fasteners, seals, O rings, gaskets, wire
  bundles (EAR99)

  flaps, slats, rotor blades, propellers, hydraulic
  systems, electric power systems, air management
  systems, fire protection/detection (EAR99 or EAR
  Tier 3)
• Major Assemblies wings, fuselage (USML Tier 3)
• Unique military attribute/technology components
  controlled under USML (e.g., nozzle
  vectoring/afterburner systems, LO components)
  (USML Tier 2)
