Boeing Fined in Sale of Restricted Parts

CHICAGO, April 9 (AP) — The Boeing Company has agreed to pay $15 million to settle federal allegations that it broke the law by selling commercial airplanes equipped with a chip that has military applications.

It is among the largest fines a company has faced for violations of the Arms Control Export Act, which regulates the sale of military products to overseas interests. Boeing, based in Chicago, also agreed to oversight requirements because settlements in previous cases did not result in full compliance.

According to the State Department charges, Boeing exported 94 commercial jets between 2000 and 2003 that carried a restricted chip in their flight boxes. At the time, the chip was used in the guidance system of the Maverick missile.

Between 2000 and 2003, Boeing exported commercial jets with a QRS-11 gyrochip in the instrument flight boxes, even though the chip was classified by the State Department as an export-restricted defense item because it can be used to stabilize and steer guided missiles.

The State Department last year prepared civil charges alleging 94 violations of the Arms Control Act. Boeing faces a potential fine of as much as $47 million.

“…More than 80 percent of QRS11 chips are used in civil systems…”

“…Developed 10 years ago by the Systron Donner Inertial Division of BEI Technologies, the QRS11 family includes chips of varying sensitivity. For example, three “100″ or “101″ chips, which cost about $1,000 each, are generally required for an airliner’s backup flight instruments. At the top end of the QRS11 range — and at double the cost — is a chip suited for missiles…”
