1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.

Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Post's assistance in conducting
a pre-license check on application 05-050100474 for the
export of electronic components and spare parts to Spain.
Post is requested to complete this Blue Lantern inquiry

3. Reason for request: To verify the existence of a civil
version of the Lanza Long Range 3-D Surveillance Radar in
development and its end-use.


4. Action: Department requests that Post confirm that
end-user Indra Sistemas is developing a civil version of its
Lanza radar, the name and location of any other parties that
are involved in contracting the development of the product,
and the identity of all Indra Sistemas' customers to which
the radar system will be exported. Emphasize that the
unauthorized re-export or retransfer of United States
Munitions List (USML) items is strictly prohibited.

End Action Request.
