At the HTC Meeting Feb 17, Bruce Jackson will talk about the Impact that the ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) has on the Commercial Space Industry
Bruce is the Vice President for Trade Controls and Export Strategy with Virgin Galactic, the world’s first “spaceline” that will operate from Spaceport America. Virgin Galactic is keenly interested in educating the community on the requirements that the ITAR imposes on the aerospace industry (and academic community) and how that affects the commercial space industry and its supply chain.
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations is administered by the U.S. Department of State under the authority of the Arms Export Control Act, and is a crucial component to U.S. national security policy. These rules are broad in scope and far reaching in terms of the way they impact commercial industry and academia. Bruce will cover some of the basic principles of the ITAR as well as highlight some of the key issues facing the commercial space industry. As Las Cruces is increasingly a focal point for the commercial space industry, it is imperative that those involved in the aerospace community understand these requirements.
Bruce’s talk can be seen as providing a preview to the upcoming Southwest Aerospace and Defense Trade Forum that is being run by the U.S. Commercial Service in Las Cruces April 4-5.
