There was a moment of time that for rail, for electricity, for communications, for aviation, for interstate highways, for the ... internet, for the cloud, . . . . . . . and now for the Intelligent Edge Infrastructure that will be the foundation for Industry 4.0. Electric vehicles, resilient electricity, additive manufacturing, autonomous systems, aerospace taking us to mars, intelligent and autonomous corridors, and the first country to have unlimited bandwidth to anyone that wants to consume it. Industry 4.0 Enables: Previously Unrealized Economic Efficiencies and Commercial Growth The Creation of New Industries and Millions of Jobs National Security & State Resilience Industry 4.0 Requires: Broadband and NextG Non-Stop Electrical Grids Edge Computing Intelligent Transportation Systems Resilient and Redundant Position and Timing Establishing an Industry 4.0 Foundation that is aligned with the United States DOD Trusted Capital program. PROBLEM: United States Government needs to Revitalize Industrial Innovation Other nations like China have taken lead on key Industry 4.0 Intellectual Property Industry 4.0 requires Intelligent Infrastructure to support R&D & Commerce SOLUTION: Coalition – Solidify Industry 4.0 strategy with Government – Academia – Commercial Infrastructure – Deploy the Intelligent Infrastructure that will power Industry 4.0 Capital – Establish the Industry 4.0 Continuum of Trusted Capital – Dual-Use R&D (ARPA-X) If the United States is going to lead the world with intelligent and autonomous production we need to invest in supporting Intelligent and Autonomous Infrastructure. read more
