US Munitions List Category XI

The US Munitions List Category XI covers the following defense articles, services, and related technical data: Military Electronics.

If you selected Category XI on the Manage United States Munitions List screen, then you can choose the corresponding USML sub-category details from the table below.

Sub-Category

An asterisk precedes certain defense articles in the following list. The asterisk means that the article is deemed to be "Significant Military Equipment" to the extent specified in § 120.7 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) issued by the Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).

Sub-Category Description
a (a) Electronic equipment not included in Category XII of the U.S. Munitions List which is specifically designed, modified or configured for military application. This equipment includes but is not limited to:

  • * (1) Underwater sound equipment to include active and passive detection, identification, tracking, and weapons control equipment.

  • * (2) Underwater acoustic active and passive countermeasures and counter-countermeasures.

  • (3) Radar systems, with capabilities such as:

    • * (i) Search,

    • * (ii) Acquisition,

    • * (iii) Tracking,

    • * (iv) Moving target indication,

    • * (v) Imaging radar systems,

    • (vi) Any ground air traffic control radar which is specifically designed or modified for military application.

  • * (4) Electronic combat equipment, such as:

    • (i) Active and passive countermeasures,

    • (ii) Active and passive counter-countermeasures, and

    • (iii) Radios (including transceivers) specifically designed or modified to interfere with other communication devices or transmissions.

  • * (5) Command, control and communications systems to include radios (transceivers), navigation, and identification equipment.

  • (6) Computers specifically designed or developed for military application and any computer specifically modified for use with any defense article in any category of the U.S. Munitions List.

  • (7) Any experimental or developmental electronic equipment specifically designed or modified for military application or specifically designed or modified for use with a military system.

b * (b) Electronic systems or equipment specifically designed, modified, or configured for intelligence, security, or military purposes for use in search, reconnaissance, collection, monitoring, direction-finding, display, analysis and production of information from the electromagnetic spectrum and electronic systems or equipment designed or modified to counteract electronic surveillance or monitoring. A system meeting this definition is controlled under this subchapter even in instances where any individual pieces of equipment constituting the system may be subject to the controls of another U.S. Government agency. Such systems or equipment described above include, but are not limited to, those:

  • (1) Designed or modified to use cryptographic techniques to generate the spreading code for spread spectrum or hopping code for frequency agility. This does not include fixed code techniques for spread spectrum.

  • (2) Designed or modified using burst techniques (e.g., time compression techniques) for intelligence, security or military purposes.

  • (3) Designed or modified for the purpose of information security to suppress the compromising emanations of information-bearing signals. This covers TEMPEST suppression technology and equipment meeting or designed to meet government TEMPEST standards. This definition is not intended to include equipment designed to meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commercial electro-magnetic interference standards or equipment designed for health and safety.

c (c) Components, parts, accessories, attachments, and associated equipment specifically designed or modified for use with the equipment in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this category, except for such items as are in normal commercial use.
d (d) Technical data (as defined in § 120.10) and defense services (as defined in § 120.9) directly related to the defense articles enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this category. (See § 125.4 for exemptions.) Technical data directly related to the manufacture or production of any defense articles enumerated elsewhere in this category that are designated as Significant Military Equipment (SME) shall itself be designated as SME.
