SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK
ON APPLICATION 05-050091001
REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK
1.This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in conducting
a pre-license check on application 05-050091001 for the
export of defense hardware to Sweden. Post is requested to
complete this Blue Lantern inquiry within 30 days. Lack of
response to a Blue Lantern inquiry will affect pending and
future licenses involving parties to this license.
3. Reason for request: Concerns that United States Munitions
List (USML) items, services or technical data may be diverted
to a proscribed entity. Specifically, a proscribed entity
may benefit from the end-user's test set (which will contain
USML items) by either purchasing an ERIEYE System and
mounting it onto its aircraft, or by utilizing the test set
on a previously acquired ERIEYE System.
4. Action: Department requests that Post query SAAB
Microwave Systems AB regarding the specific end-use of the
Myriad 4030 Carrier Boards, and determine ownership of the
test equipment which SAAB will use to test communication
units of the ERIEYE Airborne Surveillance Radar. Department
further requests that Post emphasize that the unauthorized
re-export or retransfer of USML items, services or technical
data is strictly prohibited.
The following questions provide suggested guidance:
- Identify the owners and/or operators of the aircraft on
which the ERIEYE System has been mounted.
- Identify the specific types of aircraft on which the
ERIEYE System can be mounted.
- Is the test set within which the USML items will be
incorporated mobile?
End Action Request.
