List of Items Controlled
Related Controls: (1) See USML Category XII(d) for certain gravity meters (gravimeters) and gravity gradiometers subject to the ITAR. (2) See also ECCNs 6A107, 6A997, and 7A611.
Related Definitions: N/A
Items:
a. Gravity meters designed or modified for ground use and having a static “accuracy” of less (better) than 10 µGal;
Note:
6A007.a does not control ground gravity meters of the quartz element (Worden) type.
b. Gravity meters designed for mobile platforms and having all of the following:
b.1. A static “accuracy” of less (better) than 0.7 mGal; and
b.2. An in-service (operational) “accuracy” of less (better) than 0.7 mGal having a 'time-to-steady-state registration' of less than 2 minutes under any combination of attendant corrective compensations and motional influences;
Technical Note:
For the purposes of 6A007.b.2, 'time-to-steady-state registration' (also referred to as the gravimeter's response time) is the time over which the disturbing effects of platform induced accelerations (high frequency noise) are reduced.
c. Gravity gradiometers.
