Domain 8: Materials and Electronics
The objective of the ITP domain 8 is the development of low TRL relevant technologies, or with potential relevance, dedicated to future guided weapons systems. These developments are to be accomplished within the framework of a co-operation between the United Kingdom and France. The domain 8 corresponding research work is divided into two disciplines, Materials, and Electronics,, each of which considers a very wide spectrum of technologies.
Topics considered within the materials sub-domain include:
- New composite materials (refractory, advanced ceramics).
- Polymers composites.
- Smart materials, nano-materials.
- Smart control and morphing, sensing and control actuation.
- Smart morphing composites.
- Low observable materials.
- Fragmentable materials for covers.
- Simulation and modelling techniques.

Topics considered within the electronics sub-domain include:
- Micro technologies (MEMS) and nano-technologies (nano-materials, nano-electronics).
- System on chip.
- System in package.
- Safety architecture (electronics and software).
- Technologies behaviour and modelling.
- Batteries or energy storage devices for micro-missiles.
- Future Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) technology for missile applications.
- Innovative data transmission technologies.
The leadership of this domain is the responsibility of MBDA France, to register your interest and receive further information on the opportunities to propose research within this sub-domain:
