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.
