TRANSCRIPT
An extremely sensit ive health monitoring system to be deployed for continuous use on space craft.
I ts f irst stages of development have been done for composite stealth naval ships. The core material provider has also supplied materials for the Atlas
rocket.
The technique wil l also be used in dif ferent stages of production design and manufacturing in order to ensure the highest quality of f inal assemblies.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT WITH OCT ROADMAP
The project can benefit the following of the 16 OCT Priorit ized Top Technologies.
The Lightweight and Mult ifunctional Materials and Structures [only technology included in all of three main objectives A, B and C];
Fission Power Generation [A,B]; Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) Thermal Protection Systems
(TPS) [A,B]; and (Nuclear) Thermal Propulsion [A].
In total covering eight of the twenty-three Top Technologies boxes.
