ECCN 9D001
NSMTATSoftware, not specified in 9D003 or 9D004, specially designed or modified for the development of equipment or technology controlled by ECCN 9A001 to 9A004, 9A012, 9A101 (except for items in 9A101.b that are subject to the ITAR, see 22 CFR part 121), 9A106.d. or .e, 9A110, or 9A120, 9B (except for ECCNs 9B604, 9B610, 9B619, 9B990, and 9B991), or ECCN 9E003.
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 9D001 controls "software" (other than that covered by 9D003 or 9D004) specially designed or modified for the development of the aerospace and propulsion equipment or technology controlled under 9A001 to 9A004, 9A012, and related entries. The development software behind controlled engines, UAVs, and spacecraft is controlled for National Security, Missile Technology, and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Developers of engine-design, flight-dynamics, and aerospace simulation software, and OEMs distributing development software with controlled Category 9 hardware.
Compliance tip
Match the software to the exact 9A equipment it supports — controls follow the underlying hardware. The Missile Technology reason limits license exceptions; verify the §734.7 "published" exclusion for any publicly available code before assuming it is outside the EAR.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
