Aeronautics

New technological capabilities are required to enable the next generation of civilian and military aircraft. Recent developments in MNT-based sensors, materials and devices demonstrate that MNT may be the link to meet challenges faced by the future of aircraft development.

The aircraft industry must utilize lessons learned to ensure a cost-effective and rapid infusion process of new technologies into civilian and military aircraft applications, and to avoid potential pitfalls of innovative MNT-based materials and device developments.

CANEUS is devoted to ensuring that MNT’s potential for the aerospace industry is realized. It brings together aircraft manufacturers and end-users with MNT developers across the globe to identify the weaknesses of current technologies and systems, and improve them by integrating innovative MNT capabilities.  CANEUS also addresses the "lessons learned" during the infusion of new technologies into civilian and military aircraft applications. Of particular interest are potential pitfalls to be avoided by the up and coming MNT-based materials and device developments.

Space

The aerospace agencies and organizations worldwide need to ensure a cost-effective and rapid infusion process of new technologies into space missions and they must avoid potential pitfalls of innovative MNT-based materials and device developments

CANEUS provides a link between the challenges faced by next generation of manned and unmanned spacecraft for earth orbiting and planetary missions by channeling recent developments in MNT-based materials and devices to address these challenges.

Manned

CANEUS helps address technological capabilities with the potential to bridge the gap between the challenges faced by future manned missions, both earth orbiting and planetary, and recent developments in MNT-based materials and devices.

Unmanned

CANEUS helps address the technological capabilities required for enabling the next generation of unmanned spacecraft for earth orbiting and planetary missions. The committee will make the link between the challenges faced by future unmanned missions and how the recent developments in MNT-based materials and devices can meet them.

Defense

CANEUS helps address (a) the technological capabilities required for enabling the next generation of military space missions and the MNT-based materials and devices with the potential to meet the needs associated with these missions, and (b) the "lessons learned" during the infusion of new technologies into defense missions. Of particular interest are potential pitfalls to be avoided by the up and coming MNT-based materials and device developments.
