INTANGIBLE TRANSFERS OF TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE: CHALLENGES FOR THE MISSILE TECHNOLOGY CONTROL REGIME (MTCR)

On 29 April, SIPRI released this report which explores a series of cases of export control violations and cases where the risk of a possible violation was identified involving missile-related intangible transfers of technology (ITT) or software.  The report also develops a typology of violations and identifies associated compliance challenges.  This report explores some of the key challenges that emerge from the case studies, including the increasing reliance on ITT and software, which have become easier and more common, by companies in the aerospace and NewSpace industry sectors and their global supply chains.  The report concludes by offering recommendations for the MTCR to strengthen its efforts to address the proliferation risks posed by ITT and software.
