Despite these great manufactures, many MANPADS remain vulnerable to theft, loss, and diversion. In order to prevent and reduce those actions, there are some strategies that could be focusing on. First of all, securing existing inventories of MANPADS through compiling a complete list of the importing state’s existing inventory of MANPADS which meets the demand of ensuring the accurate amount of weapons being transferred. Secondly, expanding the use of on-site inspections of exported MANPADS. Since for most exporting states, the cost and difficulty of conducting routine on-site inspections of exported MANPADS are small in comparison to the benefits of inspections, which often cannot be obtained through other control measures. Lastly, increasing transparency in international trade in MANPADS.
