TAA
Technical Assistance Agreement
What it actually means
The State Department-approved agreement authorizing a U.S. party to provide defense services or technical data to a foreign party — the ITAR instrument behind most international engineering collaboration. No TAA, no technical conversation: even a design review with a foreign partner needs authorization to cover it.
Where you'll meet it
International programs, foreign partnerships, and export compliance offices.
