OM DETTA AVSNITT
This week, host Tim O'Toole chats with Damien Spleeters (Conflict Armament Research) and return guest Collmann Griffin (Miller & Chevalier) about how bad actors use sophisticated evasion tactics to circumvent U.S. export controls and sanctions to obtain components America's adversaries need for missiles, drones, and other weapons systems.
Roadmap:
- Background on Conflict Armament Research (CAR), particularly CAR's work in Ukraine
- Western components that end up in Russian, Iranian, North Korean, and other weapons systems and how this overlaps with the BIS Common High Priority List (CHPL)
- A walkthrough of how an item makes its way from a U.S.-owned fabricator to a foreign weapons system
- Screening/due diligence steps recommended for manufacturers and distributors of high-priority items
