1 Advanced structure and material:
. reduce dry weight of any component
.. increase damage tolerance, connection strength and temperature limit

2 Advanced electronic:
. reduce power consumption of command disk / motor / rotator / gyro, etc.
.. provide additional sensor information like part temperature / stress warning, highlighting the critical part
... relative speed to target (3 translational component and 3 rotational component)
.... touch down / impact point prediction in chase view
..... Instrument landing system or waypoint navigation like in racing contract
...... real time lift to drag ratio, CoG and CoL display in flight
....... remaining dV calculation of current stage and all remaining stages
3 Advanced manufacturing:
. reduce cost of components, especially those at high tech level
4 CAE
. provide TWR-TSFC-cost 3D surface data of each engine and (stage mass)-(stage dV)-cost 3D surface data of entire craft and each stage
.. automatically generate several optimized engine design proposals (engine parameters and quantity of engine) based on the user input (cost-weight-thrust-Isp range, then select a parameter to maximize or minimize). Computer would search through the database and give the closest answer.
