ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The development team also would like to acknowledge the
support and information made available by Ultra Electronics-
Electrics and the Ministry of Defense.
Without the continuous feedback from the commercial as well
as the technical divisions within Ultra and the service men and
women from the MoD that grounded the project in reality, the
project would not have succeeded.

FUTURE WORK
The system will use several service providers to manufacture
the parts with different RM processes and materials to analyze
the impact of those on the capabilities of the united and so
refine the model and widen its application to new products.
Furthermore other potential application areas will be explored.
Together with a small team the author is in the process of
forming EnvironMEMS, a design house that delivers rapidly
developed environmental monitoring based on the technology
above.
