- Company Profile:
The process of evaluating potential security risks—based on analysis of an arms control event—to a facility, system, or operation. The risk assessment is designed to identify unrelated information or areas which could heighten an inspector’s rationale to request access to specific information or areas; e.g., restricted areas, enhanced physical security characteristics, hazardous material signs, etc. Also, an assessment by the technical secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to determine the number, intensity, duration, timing, and mode of inspections for a particular facility. Based on the risk to the object and purpose of the Chemical Weapons Convention posed by the quantities of chemicals produced, the characteristics of the facility, and the nature of the activities carried out.

Under the Chemical Weapons Convention, commonly employed unofficial term used to denote any inspection other than a challenge inspection.
Industry:Military
Under arms control agreements, the process of collecting air, soil, effluent, and other materials and analysis to determine the presence or absence of treatyprohibited or monitored substances.
Industry:Military
Collectively refers to the three lists of toxic chemicals and precursor chemicals monitored under the Chemical Weapons Convention. The three lists are referred to individually as Schedule 1, Schedule 2, and Schedule 3.
: Schedule 1 Chemicals have been developed, produced, stockpiled or used as chemical weapons (CW) or are chemicals that are precursors to CW. These chemicals have little or no industrial purpose.
: Schedule 2 Chemicals are divided into two sub-lists. One list includes toxic chemicals that could pose a significant risk to the objectives of the Chemical Weapons Convention but are not used solely in the production of CW. The second list contains chemicals that are potential precursors for CW.
: Schedule 3 Chemicals are “dual-use” chemicals that have been used as CW or are CW precursors but are produced and used in large quantities for non-CW purposes.

Any equipment which detects, and may indicate and/or record objects and activities, by means of energy or particles emitted, reflected, or modified by objects. Under the Treaty on Open Skies, equipment of a category specified in Article IV of the Treaty that is installed on an observation aircraft for use during the conduct of observation flights. The categories of equipment specified in Article IV are: optical and framing cameras; video cameras with real-time display; infra-red line-scanning devices; and sideways-looking synthetic aperture radar.
Industry:Military
Devices placed over Open Skies aircraft sensors to ensure that no unauthorized sensor operations are conducted. The covers are removed just prior to beginning observation flights.
Industry:Military
Under the Treaty on Open Skies, a sensor’s ability to collect useful data depends upon the permitted ground resolution. Sensors are subject to specified sensor ground resolution limits. Ground resolution limits are 30 centimeters for optical and video cameras; 50 centimeters for infrared line scanners; and 3 meters for synthetic aperture radar.
