reduction (radio frequency (RF), infrared (IR), Electro‑Optical, visual, ultraviolet (UV), acoustic, magnetic, RF emissions) of defense platforms, including systems, subsystems, components, materials, (including dual‑purpose materials used for Electromagnetic Interference (EM) reduction) technologies, and signature prediction, test and measurement equipment and software and material transmissivity/reflectivity prediction codes and optimization software; or
(b) electronically scanned array radar, high power radars, radar processing algorithms, periscope‑mounted radar systems (PATRIOT), LADAR, multistatic and IR focal plane array‑based sensors, to include systems, subsystems, components, materials and technologies.
Note 2: Subparagraph (3)—defence articles related to sensor fusion beyond that required for display or identification correlation is defined as techniques designed to automatically combine information from two or more sensors/sources for the purpose of target identification, tracking, designation, or passing of data in support of surveillance or weapons engagement. Sensor fusion involves sensors such as acoustic, infrared, electro optical, radio frequency, etc. Display or identification correlation refers to the combination of target detections from multiple sources for assignment of common target track designation.
Note 3: Subsubparagraph (4)(i)—naval nuclear propulsion information is technical data that concerns the design, arrangement, development, manufacture, testing, operation, administration, training, maintenance, and repair of the propulsion plants of naval nuclear‑powered ships and prototypes, including the associated shipboard and shore‑based nuclear support facilities. Examples of defence articles covered by this exemption include nuclear propulsion plants and nuclear submarine technologies or systems; nuclear powered vessels (see Categories VI and XX).
Note 4: Subsubparagraph (4)(ii)—examples of defence articles covered by this exemption include underwater acoustic vector sensors; acoustic reduction; off‑board, underwater, active and passive sensing, propeller/propulsor technologies; fixed/mobile/floating/powered detection systems which include in‑buoy signal processing for target detection and classification; automated control algorithms and classification embedded in on‑board autonomous platforms which enable:
(a) group behaviours for target detection and classification; or
(b) adaption to the environment or tactical situation for enhancing target detection and classification; "intelligent autonomy" algorithms which define the status, group (greater than 2) behaviours, and responses to detection stimuli by autonomous, underwater vehicles; and low frequency, broad‑band "acoustic colour", active acoustic "fingerprint" sensing for the purpose of long range, single pass identification of ocean bottom objects, buried or otherwise (controlled under Category XI(a)(1), (a)(2), (b), (c), and (d)).
Note 5: Subsubparagraph (4)(iii)—examples of defence articles covered by this exemption includes manned or unmanned, tethered or untethered and swimmer delivery vehicles (controlled under Category XX(a) and (b)).
Note 6: Subparagraph (5)—naval Nuclear propulsion plants includes all of Category VI(e). Naval nuclear propulsion information is technical data that concerns the design, arrangement, development, manufacture, testing, operation, administration, training, maintenance, and repair of the propulsion plants of naval nuclear‑powered ships and prototypes, including the associated shipboard and shore‑based nuclear support facilities.
