Context

MBDA is a world leader in missile systems, offering a full range of products incorporating the most advanced innovations.

Graham Wallis, the Chief Technologist at MBDA, wants to investigate the industrial value of seemingly sensational results produced within a certain field of theoretical research. Is the interest in the technological applications of this field justified or is it a technological bubble?

The sensitive nature of the subject prevents us from revealing the exact nature of the technology in question. The studied applications involve image gathering and processing.

MBDA saw reports of the potential for this technology to reduce mass and cost and is now considering whether it could have application in its core products. The challenge is to determine the advisability of a significant investment in this technology.
