My business partner and I are in the final stages of development of some software that allows your laptop or desktop PC to program and guide a rocket/missile and give it updated directions using simple wireless protocols which should make it fully exportable to all nations of interest. It also has a range of 30-40 miles as a test unit but could be expanded to 400 plus miles we think with easy and a different transmission protocol. Well I would like to tell more but I can't as it would go into to many of the finer points. What we are seeking input in is should we focus our development on existing weapons as a refit technology or should we build/have built a lower cost weapons platform to use the technology with? Also if we get into this type of thing will we need to move outside the USA or are there permits and such that can be had easily enough without disclosing our project to anyone outside our company? One last thing we don't know how to price our system alone since we are not familiar with the pricing in the defense business.

You need to direct your questions to the State Department in the first instance.

Issues of export on military related technologies are potentially governed by ITARS caveats.

They can also give you advice on who to contact next, although Dept Commerce can also assist in this area. (Dept Commerce have very close links within the US military at all service capabilty levels.

You also need to register with the State Department, before you export (2800 USD??)anything and export also governs what you say in chat rooms on the internet.
