It's a good question, and the answer is very likely "yes". I have no doubt they will be to export these systems to other politically- or economically- or militarily- friendly countries, once they've developed the datasets and trained the models and such.

They could probably even do it as a lease, and keep the most important stuff (key parts of algorithms, training datasets) at home--Surveillance As A Service!
