U.S. Naval Research Laboratory hosts its first Innovation Day for Industry, May 16, to inform industry and assess interest in a focused set of emerging technologies that are potentially ready for collaboration with industry partners, and advance system-level technologies at NRL-DC headquarters. More than 110 representatives from commercial companies met with NRL engineers and scientists to discuss collaborative opportunities and enhance innovation in key areas of emerging technology, such as: space science and technologies; naval systems technologies; biotechnology; energy and materials technologies; and optical and laser technologies. “One of NRL’s key strengths is its strong collaboration with industry, the Navy Warfare Centers, University Affiliated Research Centers, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, and academia,” said NRL Director of Research Dr. Bruce Danly. “NRL has an extraordinary record of success. It can be stated with pride that NRL has helped build — in league with its government, university, and industry partners — the most formidable naval fighting force in the world, which in turn helped to enhance America’s security, prosperity, and role in global affairs.” US Navy United States Department of Defense United States Marine Corps #innovation #indsutry #navyresearch #technology #t2 #partnerships #collaboration #NRLInnovationDay #Sailors #Marines #servicemembers

The gear of #American 🇺🇸 industrial and innovation power steams faster and faster. We had the chance to see this first hand last week during U.S. Fleet Week in #Miami where we had the chance to see first hand innovation with US Navy during Venture Café Miami and World Affairs Council of Miami U.S. Navy Innovation Night. Navy is switching gears to more autnonomous systems that can provide long range reconnaissance, distribution, and kinetic powers. Anduril Industries would be best example of a company that should inspire next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs that are at the crossroads of technology and national security applications.

I've been sitting on the attached paper for several months, hoping to get the time to share it. Many thanks to those who supported me with edits - especially the incredible Cristina Aldeanueva. The entire paper is a thought experiment - applying the knowledge gained from many books I've consumed over the last few years. In "The Evolution of Technologies," I examine the trajectory of industrial revolutions and the role of autonomous systems within these transformative periods. From the rudimentary automata of ancient civilizations to the complex AI and robotics of the modern era, each stage of technological advancement has enhanced operational efficiencies and posed new ethical and strategic challenges. I delve into the historical milestones of technological progress, starting with the steam engines of the first industrial revolution, moving through the electrification and assembly lines of the second, to the digital and automated innovations of the third and fourth industrial revolutions. The review highlights how these developments have laid the groundwork for today’s Industry 4.0 and the emerging Industry 5.0, which integrates digital and physical systems at an unprecedented scale. It also emphasizes the continuous interplay between technological innovation and societal impact, examining how past innovations influence current technologies and the ethical considerations they bring. Finally, I conclude the paper by forecasting the challenges we face as we transition into future phases of industrial development, including Industry 6.0 and beyond. The paper aims to equip readers with a comprehensive framework for - and understanding of - the historical context of our current technological landscape, offering insights into how we might navigate and shape the future of technological evolution responsibly. In the paper, I provide a simple X-Y matrix and define the impacts of each Industry. It is not perfect by any means but it advances the conversation with a means of calibrating our discussion, allowing someone smarter than me to refine, automate, and advance our understanding of industrial paradigms.

Submarines have a long history, though in 1870 they were nowhere near the power and opulence of the Nautilus. The submarine was conceived by British mathematician William Bourne in 1578, but the first one actually built was that of Dutch inventor Cornelis Drebbel, which dove under the River Thames in 1620. https://lnkd.in/duVGZrqD. When was the submarine first used? The submarine was first used as an offensive weapon in naval warfare during the American Revolution (1775–83). The Turtle, a one-man craft invented by David Bushnell, a student at Yale, was built of wood in the shape of a walnut standing on end (see photograph). https://lnkd.in/dnQxFuYy). Being inside a submarine is not as dangerous as you might think, but it does require a lot of training, discipline, and courage. Submarines are designed to operate in extreme conditions, such as deep underwater, high pressure, and low oxygen. Are submarines bad for the environment? RADIOACTIVITY RELEASES FROM NUCLEAR VESSELS The principal concern about environmental effects caused by nuclear-powered submarines, however, relates to the release of radioactivity during normal operations and maintenance. Both the type and amount of radiation are important considerations. https://lnkd.in/dgyBWg5y Do submarines pollute the water? Submarines generate food waste, gray water, and black water in proportion to the complement. https://lnkd.in/d7TvBVKZ. What are the dangers of a submarine? Crushing pressure, unpredictable current systems, entanglement in ghost nets, catastrophic equipment failure, or of course pilot error, are just some of the risks of entering the hostile environment of the deep ocean. https://lnkd.in/dBGHSriX.
