DefenseTech state-tracker (Spec #2 of the DefenseTech 6-pack). Lifecycle snapshot of the 10 federal authorities that regulate defense-industrial-base AI / cybersecurity / export-control / CUI obligations — DoD CIO · Cyber AB · DIBCAC · DDTC · BIS · NIST · GSA · DCMA · DCSA · NARA-ISOO. Operator-format alignment with
state-puc-ai-disclosure-tracker(EnergyTech),state-insurance-ai-disclosure-tracker(InsurTech), and other state-tracker repos in the Suite.
Part of the Kinetic Gain Protocol Suite.
Status: v0.1 seed dataset. 10 authorities, all with first-class AI-specific position captured
as_of2026-05-30.
| Field | What it captures |

The handful of obligations a covered entity must satisfy |
ai_specific_position_as_of_seed |
What this authority has publicly said about AI as of seed date |
enforcement_mode |
The shape of enforcement — contract-clause-flowdown vs license-pre-authorization vs facility-personnel-clearance etc. |
Unlike state-level trackers (50 US states), the defense regulatory surface is federally consolidated but functionally fragmented. A single AI tool used at a DIB contractor can simultaneously trigger:
- DoD CIO clauses (DFARS 252.204-7012 cyber incident reporting),
- Cyber AB ecosystem (assessor accreditation, RPO certification),
- DIBCAC scrutiny (medium/high-confidence NIST 800-171 assessment),
- DDTC pre-authorization (ITAR USML technical data),
- BIS screening (EAR + Entity List + deemed-export),
- NIST standards-incorporation (AI RMF + SP 800-218A),
- GSA procurement-vehicle (FAR 52.204-21 + GSA Schedule disclosure),
- DCMA contract-admin scrutiny (Contractor Purchasing System Review),
- DCSA facility / personnel clearance (NISPOM at cleared facility),
- NARA-ISOO CUI-Registry-marking compliance (E.O. 13556 + CUI Notice 2020-04).
Each has its own enforcement mode. None inherit from each other. A DIB contractor with an AI tool needs alignment across all 10, not just one — and the order they collide in matters for incident response (e.g. a CUI spillage on an ITAR technical data package triggers DoD CIO + DDTC + DCSA + NARA-ISOO in different timeframes).

10 modes / 10 authorities is the most diverse enforcement-mode diversity of any state-tracker in the Suite — reflecting that no two federal-defense authorities work the same way.

State-tracker is a regulatory-lifecycle inventory of federal authorities. It does NOT constitute legal advice on CMMC certification, ITAR / EAR licensing, security-clearance adjudication, or DFARS compliance. Always validate against current authority publications before relying on a field — federal AI rulemaking is in flux. Per the standing Suite public-language guardrail: readiness · evidence · posture · controls · scaffolding — never "compliant" / "certified" without externally-attested certification specific to each regulatory regime.
