for aircraft systems will be determined independently of any external factors such as operational restrictions, limitations imposed by telemetry, data links, or other external constraints. For aircraft systems, the range will be determined for a one‑way distance using the most fuel‑efficient flight profile (for example, cruise speed and altitude), assuming International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard atmosphere with zero wind.
Note 3: Subparagraph (11)—"Mission systems" are defined as "systems" that are defence articles that perform specific military functions such as by providing military communication, electronic warfare, target designation, surveillance, target detection, or sensor capabilities.
Note 4: Subparagraph (11)—this does not include tethered aerostats. Mission systems incorporated on otherwise controlled aerostats are controlled as the mission systems themselves just as if they were mounted, for example, on a tower or a pole.
 (b) ‑ (c) [Reserved]
 (d) Ship‑based launching and recovery equipment specially designed for defence articles described in paragraph (a) of this category and land‑based variants thereof (MT if the ship‑based launching and recovery equipment is for an unmanned aerial vehicle, drone, or missile that has a range equal to or greater than 300 km).
Note: Fixed land‑based arresting gear is not included in this paragraph. For the definition of "range," see the note 2 to paragraph (a).
 (e) Inertial navigation systems (INS), aided or hybrid inertial navigation systems, Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) specially designed for aircraft controlled in this category and all specially designed components, parts, and accessories therefor (MT if the INS, IMU, or AHRS is for an unmanned aerial vehicle, drone, or missile that has a "range" equal to or greater than 300 km). For other inertial reference systems and related components refer to Category XII(d).
 (f) Developmental aircraft funded by the United States Government via contract or other funding authorisation, and specially designed parts, components, accessories, and attachments therefor.
Note 1: This paragraph does not control aircraft and specially designed parts, components, accessories, and attachments therefor:
(a) in production; or
(b) identified in the relevant United States Government contract or other funding authorisation as being developed for both civil and military applications.
Note 2: Note 1 does not apply to defence articles enumerated on this list in production or development.
Note 3: This provision applies to those contracts or other funding authorisations that are dated 16 April 2014, or later.
 (g) [Reserved]
