ML12High velocity kinetic energy weapon systems and related equipment, as follows, and specially designed components therefor:

Directive 2009/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 simplifying terms and conditions of transfers of defence-related products within the Community (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

Kinetic energy weapon systems specially designed for destruction or effecting mission-abort of a target; Specially designed test and evaluation facilities and test models, including diagnostic instrumentation and targets, for dynamic testing of kinetic energy projectiles and systems. NB:For weapon systems using sub-calibre ammunition or employing solely chemical propulsion, and ammunition therefor, see ML1 to ML4. Note 1ML12 includes the following when specially designed for kinetic energy weapon systems: Launch propulsion systems capable of accelerating masses larger than 0,1 g to velocities in excess of 1,6 km/s, in single or rapid fire modes; Prime power generation, electric armour, energy storage, thermal management, conditioning, switching or fuel-handling equipment; and electrical interfaces between power supply, gun and other turret electric drive functions; Target acquisition, tracking, fire control or damage assessment systems; Homing seeker, guidance or divert propulsion (lateral acceleration) systems for projectiles. Note 2ML12 controls weapon systems using any of the following methods of propulsion: Electromagnetic; Electrothermal; Plasma; Light gas; or Chemical (when used in combination with any of the above).
