Computer Numerical Control. I did not know that. I presume it also uses GPS, altimeters and gyroscopes to input to the computer.
Composite metal foams (bulletproof foam) is very intresting, they are using it for light-weight composite armour, more effective than ceramic plate armour. http://www.popsci.com/metal-foam-stops-bullet-in-less-than-an-inch
