The constantly changing dynamic of global politics have resulted in many changes to U.S. export controls in recent years. New U.S. policies towards Russia and China, as well as other countries, are reflected in changes to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). In addition, there have been changes to the ITAR to reorganize the structure of the regulations resulting in new definitions and updates. This tutorial will provide an understanding of the EAR and ITAR and the impact of the recent changes on the regulations and the export of controlled goods, technologies and services. There will be particular focus on how the regulations apply to the simulation industry, including controls on software, hardware, services and activities at trade shows such as I/ITSEC. Presenters will discuss examples of simulations products and services, and associated licensing strategies, in the current regulatory environment.
