Items Controlled
a. Gravity meters having all of the following characteristics: a.1. A static or operational accuracy equal to or less (better) than 0.7 milligal (mgal);
Related Controls
See USML Category XII(d) for certain gravity meters (gravimeters) or gravity gradiometers subject to the ITAR. See also ECCN 7A611.
Items may also be controlled under the ITAR (22 CFR 121) administered by the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
Related Definitions
'Time to steady-state registration' (also referred to as the gravity meter's response time) is the time over which the disturbing effects of platform-induced acceleration (high frequency noise) are reduced.
See EAR Part 772 (15 CFR 772) for complete definitions of terms used in the CCL.
