Description
Summary:Currently, industry 4.0 technologies have revolutionised every field for digital transformation, real-time monitoring, and innovative infrastructure. Real-time insights across war fighting and real-time decision support to individual and realistic training scenarios for soldiers are all positive outcomes of assimilating Industry 4.0 into Defence. In this study, we have presented a detailed discussion on the significance of Industry 4.0 technologies for Defence from the perspective of innovation. During the analysis, it was concluded that artificial intelligence (AI), robots, drones, augmented reality, simulation, additive manufacturing, big data analytics, and Internet of Things (IoT) are Industry 4.0, technologies that are used in Defence for trajectory analysis of enemy zones, smart bullets, anti-drone Defence systems, defining the target range of missiles, target classification, rapid prototyping of deployed military equipment, extracting injured personnel, and remote firing. This study proposes an industrial Defence sustainability and innovation framework to advance understanding of how industry 4.0 can enable innovation.
