It is the policy of the United States— to maintain its commitment to nonproliferation through voluntary adherence to the 1987 Missile Technology Control Regime (referred to in this section as MTCR ); to exercise its sovereign right within that regime to define unmanned aerial systems (referred to in this section as UAS ) as aircraft rather than as cruise missiles; to consider UAS as not subject to MTCR guidelines, annexes, or any other United States policy subject to the MTCR; to ensure that exports of military UAS remain subject to the same export considerations as military aircraft; and to ensure that military UAS share the same co-development, co-production, and any other privilege or consideration afforded to military aircraft for the purposes of direct commercial sale or foreign military sale.
