ITAR & EAR Export Control and Compliance Support
Trusted, experienced regulartory and compliance supportGlobal trade compliance support
We combine deep regulatory knowledge with tailored, proactive strategies that safeguard organizations from penalties and operational disruptions.
By applying International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR) export compliance expertise that ensures organizations adhere to U.S. export laws, JHNA’s TSA team helps government agencies and defense contractor clients navigate complex regulations, mitigate risks, and maintain compliance while facilitating secure and lawful international trade to advance the warfighter and mission.
Our approach to export compliance combines deep regulatory knowledge with tailored, proactive strategies that safeguard organizations from penalties and operational disruptions. Our team includes former regulators, legal experts, and defense industry specialists who ensure accurate guidance aligned with government expectations. We assist in policy development, voluntary disclosures, risk mitigation strategies, and ground-up ECP development for full compliance with export control laws.
We have long-standing, trusted relationships with the Office of the Deputy Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs (SAF/IA), Navy International Programs Office (NIPO), and Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Defense Exports and Cooperation (DASA (DE&C)) that exemplify our ability to navigate export approvals across the DoD. Our experts are experienced in applying complex service and national-level policies in relation to global trade compliance to support the Army, Navy, and Air Force Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programs, cooperative agreements, technology transfers, and Direct Commercial Sales (DCS).
What is our ITAR & EAR Approach?
Key Features, Benefits, & Applications
- ITAR & EAR Classification. We accurately classify defense articles and dual-use goods under the U.S. Munitions List (USML) or Export Control. Classification Number (ECCN), ensuring compliance with federal regulations.
- Export Licensing & Compliance Program Development. We streamline the export licensing process and guide the approval process from the Department of State (DDTC) and Department of Commerce (BIS) while implementing robust internal Export Compliance Programs (ECP) that sustain long-term regulatory adherence.
- Export Assessments & Training. We conduct comprehensive internal audits and training programs that identify compliance gaps, prevent violations, and educate personnel on evolving ITAR & EAR requirements.
PROVEN IMPACT
- Defense Contractor Compliance Implementation. Our experts assisted a DoD contractor in developing and establishing an ECP and identifying ITAR-controlled components within a multi-tier supply chain. Our work mitigated risks and secured necessary export approvals to avoid delays in shipment and activities.
- ITAR Audit & Corrective Actions. We conducted an internal compliance audit for a leading defense contractor which led to early detection of potential violations and successful corrective action, avoiding costly penalties and reinforcing ITAR compliance.

JHNA has directly established governance structures within DoD, ensuring that MOSA is not just a technical exercise but an institutionalized process. We specialize in scalable, reusable software ecosystems, enabling long-term cost savings and rapid deployment.
We employ standards such as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 42020 to define organizational structure and governance of MOSA policy. We use tools, such as Cameo Enterprise Architect, to model enterprise requirements and define product line components ensuring the application of architecture frameworks (DoDAF, UAF, Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF), etc.) to model business drivers and architectural quality attributes while providing traceability to required system capabilities.
Our Key Features, Benefits, & Applications
- Architecture and Governance Guide: We will develop and provide a MOSA strategy for creation, implementation, deployment, and governance.
- Verification: We will ensure that your software and system architectures meet MOSA requirements for interoperability, portability, maintainability, etc.
- Open Standards Conformance: We will tailor requirements to ensure your compliance with Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE), Hardware Open Systems Technologies (HOST), Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA), and other standards.
OUR PROVEN IMPACT
- We guided the formation of Army Program Executive Office Aviation (PEO AVN) Enterprise Architecture Framework (EAF) and Enterprise Architecture (EA), ensuring the application of MOSA to acquisition programs.
- We developed a methodology to establish enterprise modularity applicable to any enterprise (currently under consideration by US Army PEO AVN)
- We’ve defined a product line architecture for Army Aviation to enable software reusability across platforms while supporting mission-specific variant capabilities.
- We developed processes and tools to evaluate software products against MOSA requirements.
WE ARE A TRUSTED PARTNER FOR
- Army: We are enabling MOSA-aligned software ecosystems that support multiple aviation platforms.
- Navy: We ensure new capabilities meet MOSA standards before full-scale implementation.
- Air Force: We are defining & governing enterprise-wide MOSA strategies for defense projects. We developed processes and tools to evaluate software products against MOSA requirements.
