France Launches Dioxygen Project to Industrialize Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites

France, via IRT Saint-Exupéry, is launching the Dioxygen project to industrialize oxide ceramic matrix composites (O-CMC) for aerospace engines and nuclear reactor cores. The initiative aims to automate and master production of these strategic materials, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers. This marks a significant step in France's industrial autonomy in defense and energy sectors.
