Industry 4.0

Abstract

This chapter debates various technologies discussed in the previous section, under a shared context. Beyond disruption, a common thread running through this work is that all technologies discussed here could be addressed together as the technologies responsible for making the Fourth Industrial Revolution a reality. Most of these technologies tend to offer higher levels of automation, greater speeds and accuracy. These technologies, singularly or jointly, offer various options to the armed forces to improve their operational readiness. Rapid industrial progress (civil and military) is expected when these technologies reach maturation in the near future. Eventually, these technologies are expected to decide the success of Industry 4.0 together.
