What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 7A006 controls airborne altimeters operating at frequencies other than 4.2-4.4 GHz that have features such as "power management" or a specified output power, plus specially designed components. Radar and laser altimeters outside the protected civil band are controlled for National Security, Missile Technology, and Anti-Terrorism reasons because of their use in guided systems and terrain-following.

Who needs to check this?

Makers of radar and laser altimeters and terrain-referenced sensing equipment for aircraft, UAVs, and guided platforms.

Compliance tip

Standard civil radio altimeters in the 4.2-4.4 GHz band are excluded — control turns on operating outside that band plus the listed features. The Missile Technology reason narrows license-exception eligibility; verify against the entry and apply Part 744 missile/UAV end-use diligence.
