2 sentenced in case tied to India's nuclear missiles
Two Americans were sentenced to one year of home detention and three years' probation for illegally selling India technology that made its nuclear missiles more accurate.

They sold a control panel made by their firm to the Defense Research Development Laboratory in India. The control panel would help operate a isostatic press to produce carbon-carbon.

Carbon-carbon is used on missile nosetips, rocket nozzles, and reentry heatshields to help maneuver through the ultra-hot and turbulent atmosphere.
