What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 7A005 controls "satellite navigation system" (GNSS) receiving equipment that employs a decryption algorithm specially designed or modified for government use (e.g., access to a protected ranging code) or that uses adaptive (anti-jam) antenna systems. Ordinary civil GPS/GNSS receivers are not controlled here; the entry targets military-grade and anti-jam receivers, controlled for National Security, Missile Technology, and Anti-Terrorism reasons.

Who needs to check this?

Makers of military or survey-grade GNSS receivers, anti-jam antenna (CRPA) systems, and precision timing/positioning equipment with controlled features.

Compliance tip

Confirm whether your receiver actually uses government-code decryption or an adaptive (null-steering) antenna — these are the triggers, and standard commercial receivers fall outside. Where 7A005 applies, the Missile Technology reason narrows license-exception eligibility; verify against the entry and Part 744 end-use rules.
