Defence
Critical Materials provides materials design and structural health monitoring solutions for defense vehicles, equipments and installations - from high flying aircrafts to deep diving submarines.
"Maintenance of most aircraft and other long last equipment is based out of "hard-time inspection intervals", e.g. an helicopter may have checks every 100, 50 or even 10 hours of flight. This scheme is based out of engineering margins defined at design time and does not take into account service history of components. Estimates point out that 80% of military maintenance is done on components that are perfectly fine".*
The company is commited to become a partner to defence equipment manufacturers and owners aiming at increased availability of long lasting equipment.
Defence equipment, from aircraft to vessels, have stringent requirements for maximum uptime. Condition based maintenance and selective mission are key enablers for that goal. Critical Materials is an innovative provider of advanced solutions to guarantee up-to-date integrity status and prognostics information.
Critical Materials builds on the experience of the group "mothership" company, Critical Software, which has PT, MoD, NATO and EU level secret clearance, including the clearance of a large number of its personnel, to rapidly and effectively assemble project teams.
