As 2017 dawned, a new administration brought additional uncertainty to the ongoing Export Control Reform process as well as the foreign policy and national security issues that serve as the foundation of the ITAR and the EAR. This tutorial will focus on understanding the application of the ITAR and the EAR as well as the potential changes associated with new leadership in Washington D.C. Proposed revisions to key definitions such as “defense services”, “technical data”, “public domain” and “export” and questions concerning ITAR U.S. Munitions List coverage and sanctions remain on the horizon and counsel continuing vigilance and education in this area. The tutorial will examine the scope of the U.S. export laws, how the U.S. Government applies them to the simulation industry, including controls on software, hardware, services and activities at trade shows such as I/ITSEC, as well as discuss examples of products and services, and associated licensing strategies, in this shifting regulatory environment.
