| PART IV: SYNERGIES |
...It boils down to the way things fit together: an aircraft or ship is the sum of its
parts, from the propulsion system to the materials to the computer system to the
user. When it comes to the field of advanced materials, it almost goes without
saying that products developed in the field have applications in a host of other
fields, from shipbuilding to aircraft making and more. Synergy goes beyond the
pieces that make up a product. It can also involve systems. A warfighting
capability, for instance, involves the many elements, from soldiers to equipment
to communications. A military synergy has, in fact, developed along the Gulf
Coast. To see the activities, click here. To see how military-related fields in
South Mississippi fit together, click here for a simple concept map. To find out
about sample products, click on one of the fields below.

Unmanned aerial vehicles
Example: The Fire Scout helicopter UAV will be housed
aboard the new generation of surface ships and used
primarily for reconnaissance missions.

Composites
Example: The aerospace industry is looking more and
more to lightweight composite, not only for wings but
for fuselages as well.
