A -- FALCON (Force Application and Launch from CONUS) Technology Information and Export Control and ITAR restrictions for Phase II.

The FALCON program conducted a Technical Information Meeting on February 10 and 11, 2004, for contractors involved in Phase I tasks, providing critical insights on emerging technologies intended for proposers in Phase II. The government shared valuable information, some of which is subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restrictions. It is the responsibility of each company to ensure compliance with these export control regulations. Interested parties are directed to send requests for this information to Donna Dickey at CENTRA Technology in Arlington, VA. The program emphasizes strict adherence to ITAR rules and highlights that the involvement of foreign prime contractors is likely to cause significant delays. Therefore, foreign entities are encouraged to forge partnerships with U.S. industry to navigate export control constraints effectively. This notice, issued by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under the Department of Defense, serves to inform potential Phase II participants of export control and ITAR limitations within the FALCON program and is not a solicitation for proposals. The solicitation, titled "A -- FALCON (Force Application and Launch from CONUS) Technology Information and Export Control and ITAR restrictions for Phase II," was posted on March 18, 2004, under the reference number SN04-22. The program is managed from Arlington, VA, and falls under the NAICS code 541330, which pertains to engineering services. The emphasis on U.S. partnerships and export control compliance is central to maintaining the program’s schedule and security requirements.
