| Category | 7 — Navigation & Avionics |
| Product Group | A — Systems, Equipment & Components |
| Description | Gyros, other than those controlled by 7A002 (see List of Items Controlled), and "specially designed" "parts" and "components" therefor. |
| Control Reasons | ATMT |
| License Exceptions | GBSLVS |
Items Controlled
a. All types of gyros, usable in rockets, missiles, or unmanned aerial vehicles capable of achieving a "range" equal to or greater than 300 km, with a rated "drift rate" 'stability' of less than 0.5 degrees (1 sigma or rms) per hour in a 1 g environment. b. Gyros of any type, designed for use in inertial navigation systems or in guidance systems of all types, specified to function at acceleration levels greater than 100 g.
Related Controls
(1) See USML Category XII(e) for gyros or angular rate sensors subject to the ITAR. (2) See also ECCNs 7A002, 7A611, and 7A994.
Items may also be controlled under the ITAR (22 CFR 121) administered by the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
Related Definitions
(1) Drift rate is defined as the time rate of output deviation from the desired output. It consists of random and systematic components and is expressed as an equivalent angular displacement per unit time with respect to inertial space. (2) Stability is defined as standard deviation (1 sigma) of the variation of a particular parameter from its calibrated value measured under stable temperature conditions. This can be expressed as a function of time.
See EAR Part 772 (15 CFR 772) for complete definitions of terms used in the CCL.

Export Control Context
Category 7 covers navigation and avionics including inertial navigation systems, gyroscopes, accelerometers, GPS receivers, and flight control systems. These items are critical for precision-guided munitions and autonomous vehicle navigation.
