SD Webinar: Technology Security & Foreign Disclosures (TSFD): Turning “Pipes” into Pathways for Faster, Compliant Exports

U.S. defense exports live at the intersection of technology protection and foreign disclosure. This fast paced webinar demystifies TSFD by putting it “in context,” unpacking the famous TSFD “pipes” and the multi stakeholder decision ecosystem behind them so you can anticipate policy hurdles, design for exportability, and move programs through FMS and DCS without unnecessary delays. We’ll connect the dots across national, multi service, component, and service policies; walk through the FMS/DCS process maps; and show how to apply the TSFD assessment process to your specific technology and destination country.   You’ll gain a practical framework to spot disclosure triggers early, align with U.S. policy, and reduce license provisos by engineering exportability from the start. 

Why This Material Matters

TSFD requirements apply to both FMS and DCS. If you treat them differently, you risk timeline slips and rework. 

License provisos are symptoms of TSFD restrictions. Understanding the underlying policy drivers helps you pre empt limiting conditions before they land on your authorization. 

Early engagement unlocks momentum. Proactive TSFD assessments and access to classified export policies clarify what must be worked to enable release. 

Design for Exportability (DfE) pays off. Incorporating exportability decisions at Milestone B or earlier can mitigate anticipated TSFD issues without compromising U.S. capability. 

Target Audience

Export controls & trade compliance professionals navigating FMS/DCS cases (ITAR/EAR) and TSFD reviews.

Program managers, capture/BD leads, and solution architects who need to forecast exportability and schedule risk. 

Systems engineers and product managers building features with COMSEC, EW, LO/CLO, GPS/PNT, GEOINT, datalinks, NVDs, or SAP related considerations. 

Empowered Officials and legal counsel seeking to reduce provisos and align designs with policy from day one.
