Report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on International Armaments Cooperation - Source Code Working Group - Assessment of DOD Source Code Export Practices.

Abstract

The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology has requested the Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on International Arms Cooperation to prepare an assessment of current DOD policy regarding the export control of weapon systems source code. The DSB Task Force established a Source Code Working Group to address this request. The goal of the Working Group was to assess whether or not the present OSD practice (and those of other DOD Service Components, Activities and Agencies) of prohibiting export of weapon systems software source code: (1) should continue, and (2) if not, what the new policy should be.
