The U.S. defense export system is in need of significant reform to
reduce the impact of its core inefficiencies and weaknesses. The
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) create serious
problems for the U.S. defense industry and thereby weaken U.S.
national security in several important ways. While the ITAR is
mostly successful in preventing U.S. arms from being used against
the United States and its allies, the manner in which the ITAR
regulations are enforced presents excessive barriers to U.S. firms
that impede their ability to compete in the global defense market.
These firms are important contractors to the U.S. military, and
their success enables the United States to maintain a technological
and industrial advantage. Additionally, when U.S. allies choose to
purchase defense products from ITAR-free firms based outside of the
United States, U.S. Army interoperability with foreign forces
decreases.
