200 violations of the Arms Export Control Act have resulted in a settlement by Boeing of $51 million. Following Boeing declaring that its international employees and contractors had been violating the law. With employees in China downloading data on the F-18, F-15, F-22 the AH-64 Apache helicopter, the AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile and AGM-131 Short Range Attack Missile II. Separately, “an indeterminate number” of international employees and contractors at Boeing sites across 18 countries, including Russia, downloaded technical data 80 times over five years.

$51million won’t be material, but can you put a price on the materiality of national security? The US government found exports to China between 2013 and 2017 “caused harm to US national security”.

If ITAR controls were not followed, what does that mean for DFARS compliance and the application of security practices for the protection of CUI? A data class that includes ITAR.
