Attachment H: MACH CUI Guidelines It is expected that MACH performers will generate controlled unclassified information (CUI) and/or controlled technical information (CTI) as part of their research:

· CUI is defined as information that requires safeguarding or dissemination controls pursuant to and consistent with applicable law, regulations, and government-wide policies but is not classified under Executive Order 13526 or the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, and all CUI shall be marked and safeguarded in accordance with DoDI 5200.01 Volume 4.

· CTI is defined as technical information with military or space application that is subject to controls on its access, use, reproduction, modification, performance, display, release, disclosure, or dissemination.

As general guidance, the following items will be considered CUI in MACH:

· All detailed design data (e.g. detailed CAD drawings, bill of materials, manufacturing workflow, performance simulations, etc.) of integrated solutions are considered CTI.

· All detailed performance data (e.g. thermal response, oxidation response, cooling capacity, geometric limitations, etc.) are CTI when tied to a specific operating environment (e.g. “cooling rate of X at operating temperature of Y”, “recession rate of X when exposed to ground testing conditions Y”, etc.).

· All leading edge integration details (joining, system resource requirements, etc.) are considered CTI when tied to a specific flight vehicle.

· Material properties at temperatures above 1500 °C generated from MACH.

· Oxidation response at temperatures above 1500 °C generated from MACH.

· Thermal management architectures with maximum cooling rates higher than 400 W/cm2.

· All detailed design data of materials, coatings, or thermal management architectures are considered CTI when tied to specific MACH program-provided geometries.

· All detailed performance data are CTI when tied to a specific hypersonic operating environment.

As general guidance, the following items will be considered UNCLASSIFIED in MACH

· Algorithms when realized in source code, executable formats, or documented in written reports.

· Fundamental material properties at temperatures below 1500 °C, or that already exists in public domain.

· Thermal management architectures with maximum cooling rates lower than 400 W/cm2.
