Weapons & Technology Reviews

Weapons and technology reviews help defense and space contractors assess whether their systems – kinetic, cyber, AI-enabled, dual-use, or space-based – comply with the Law of War and relevant U.S. laws and regulations. Since the government will conduct its own legal review before accepting and deploying a weapon system, a front-end legal assessment may help prevent costly redesigns, procurement delays, and legal and reputational risk early in the development, design, or post-design process. These reviews can identify and address legal risks up front, streamline government engagement, demonstrate due diligence (which can enhance credibility), and reinforce ethical operations, showing a commitment to lawful development that could save lives and reduce civilian harm.
