And several Australian defense companies are unhappy about legislation pending in Australia\u2019s parliament that would replicate a U.S.-style export control regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They say importing the stringent U.S. export control laws could hinder their ability to effectively collaborate and do business with non-AUKUS countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia and Britain have long sought a carveout within Washington\u2019s International Traffic in Arms Regulation, or ITAR, export control regime. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2023\/09\/14\/australian-uk-and-us-tech-companies-already-reaping-aukus-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\">Defense companies in all three countries <\/a>have argued ITAR\u2019s rigorous restrictions on sensitive defense exports stymies a key<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2021\/10\/29\/the-unintended-consequences-of-the-aukus-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\"> AUKUS <\/a>goal of jointly developing disruptive technology such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence and hypersonic weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2023\/12\/07\/final-defense-policy-bill-advances-aukus-taiwan-training\/\" target=\"_blank\">passed legislation in December to give Australia and Britain an ITAR exemption<\/a> for AUKUS, on the condition that both countries implement similarly tough export control laws. Canada is currently the only country to enjoy a special ITAR exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Australia and Britain receive their exemptions, Secretary of State Antony Blinken must certify they have each implemented comparable export control regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Biercuk, the chief executive of Q-CTRL, an Australian firm specializing in quantum technology that has offices in Sydney, Los Angeles and London, said the company is \u201csupportive of the idea of making a control-free zone, if you will, between Australia, the U.S. and the U.K. in support of AUKUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, \u201cwe don\u2019t think the right way to do it is to bring in the totality of the system that everybody in the world says doesn\u2019t work,\u201d he added, noting the policy would \u201cfundamentally limit exports outside of that AUKUS bubble, and this is not something that is helpful to the local community of vendors who are heavily reliant on export markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andreas Schwer, the chief executive of EOS, an Australian company specializing in high-tech remote weapons stations, directed energy and counter-unmanned aircraft systems, told Defense News stricter, more ITAR-like regulations in the country \u201cwill make life extremely difficult for us to export into any non-AUKUS country.\u201d He said it can sometimes take six months to a year to get simple upgrades formally approved for NATO allies under ITAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is something which is hated by most of the western European procurement agencies,\u201d said Schwer. \u201cThat\u2019s the reason why they always prefer non-ITAR offers. I expect that the same will happen with Australian products. As soon as we have similar regulations in place, they will also say we don\u2019t want to have Australian ITAR components.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But proponents of ITAR argue it\u2019s a crucial tool for keeping U.S. technology out of the hands of rivals such as China and Russia. Mike Burgess, director general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, warned last year of an uptick in online espionage attempts aimed at the country\u2019s defense industry since AUKUS was announced in September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Under Secretary of State for Arms Control Bonnie Jenkins told lawmakers this week the U.S. must \u201cmake sure that we protect our intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know there\u2019s countries like China who want to steal information,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jenkins noted Britain updated its espionage laws in July 2023 as part of the National Security Act and pointed to Australia\u2019s proposed export control overhaul pending a review in parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biercuk said the Australian proposal was \u201crushed\u201d and called it \u201ca catastrophically bad piece of legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, NIOA Group chief executive Rob Nioa, noted \u201creally what the U.S. wants to do is protect U.S. [intellectual property. \u201cIf it was technology that originated in America, it was always subject to those controls,\u201d Nioa told Defense News. \u201cOur concern will be if that captures Australian uniquely produced intellectual property and prohibits it from going to other places.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NIOA Group is an Australian munitions company which also owns U.S.-headquartered Barrett Firearms and has a joint venture company with Rheinmetall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, he added, a comparable Australian export control regime \u201cmight streamline\u201d some<b> <\/b>export approval processes by allowing Canberra to administer them \u201cinstead of having to go back to the U.S. for approval.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUntil we see how it\u2019s implemented, I\u2019m not going to automatically panic,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are nervous about it though in Australia because people are nervous about the unknown.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian defense industry has growing concern over upcoming changes to the country&#8217;s export
