Technology Transfer Under the F-15I Program
Abstract
This audit was performed in response to allegations made to tile Defense Hotline. The Government of Israel and the U.S. Air Force signed a letter of offer and acceptance in 1994, and amended it in February 1996, for the purchase of 25 F-15I aircraft, support items, and associated services. The letter of offer and acceptance required that the U.S. Air Force establish a software development facility supporting the development and integration of Israeli unique components and maintenance capabilities for the F-15I aircraft. The Defense Hotline complainant alleged that there was a lack of controls over the transfer of technical data provided to the Israeli Software Development Facility; and that export laws had been and continued to be violated. The audit objective was to determine whether effective controls existed to prevent unauthorized release of U.S. technological information under the F-15I Program. We also reviewed the management control program as it related to the audit objective.
