Sanjay Kaushik, a 58-year-old Indian national from Delhi, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and 36 months of supervised release for conspiring to export controlled aviation components and a navigation and flight control system to end users in Russia. Court documents say the conspiracy began in early September 2023 and involved obtaining U.S. aerospace goods and technology for entities in Russia using false end-user claims. Kaushik and co-conspirators bought an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) from an Oregon supplier, and the AHRS was detained before it could be exported. Kaushik was arrested in Miami in October 2024, indicted by a federal grand jury in Portland a month later, and pleaded guilty in October last year to one conspiracy count.
