7E  Technology

7E001 Technology required for the development of goods or software specified in sub-categories 7A, 7B or 7D.

7E002 Technology required for the production of goods specified in sub-categories 7A or 7B.

7E003 Technology required for the repair, refurbishing or overhaul of goods specified in entries 7A001 to 7A004;

• except:

for maintenance technology directly associated with calibration, removal or replacement of damaged or unserviceable LRUs and SRAs of a civil aircraft as described in Maintenance Level I or Maintenance Level II(1).

7E004 Other technology, as follows:

a.Technology for the development or production of:

1.Airborne automatic direction finding equipment operating at frequencies exceeding 5 MHz;

2.Air data systems based on surface static data only, i.e., which dispense with conventional air data probes;

3.Raster-type head-up displays or three dimensional displays for aircraft;

4.Inertial navigation systems or gyro-astro compasses containing accelerometers or gyros specified in entries 7A001 or 7A002;

b.Development technology, as follows, for active flight control systems (including fly-by-wire or fly-by-light):

1.Configuration design for interconnecting multiple microelectronic processing elements (on-board computers) to achieve real time processing for control law implementation;

2.Control law compensation for sensor location or dynamic airframe loads, i.e., compensation for sensor vibration environment or for variation of sensor location from the centre of gravity;

3.Electronic management of data redundancy or systems redundancy for fault detection, fault tolerance, fault isolation or reconfiguration;

• Note: Sub-head b.3. of this entry does not specify technology for the design of physical redundancy.

4.Flight controls which permit inflight reconfiguration of force and moment controls for real time autonomous air vehicle control;

5.Integration of digital flight control, navigation and propulsion control data into a digital flight management system for flight path optimization;

• except:

development technology for aircraft flight instrument systems integrated solely for VOR, DME, ILS or MLS navigation or approaches;

6.Full authority digital flight control or multi sensor mission management systems incorporating knowledge-based expert systems (2);

c.Technology for the development of helicopter systems, as follows:

1.Multi-axis fly-by-wire or fly-by-light controllers which combine the functions of at least two of the following into one controlling element:

a.Collective controls;

b.Cyclic controls;

c.Yaw controls;

2.Circulation-controlled anti-torque or circulation-controlled directional control systems;

3.Rotor blades incorporating variable geometry airfoils for use in systems using individual blade control.

7E101 Technology required for the use of goods specified in entries 7A001 to 7A006, 7A101 to 7A106, 7A115 to 7A117, 7B002, 7B003, 7B102, 7B103 or 7D101 to 7D103.

7E102 Technology for protection of avionics and electrical subsystems against electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) hazards, from external sources, as follows:

a.Design technology for shielding systems;

b.Design technology for the configuration of hardened electrical circuits and sub-systems;

c.Design technology for the determination of hardening criteria for heads a. or b. of this entry.

7E104 Technology for the integration of the flight control, guidance, and propulsion data into a flight management system for optimization of rocket system trajectory.
