To strengthen small manufacturing for the defense industry
Cutting-Edge Research
Emerging technologies such as additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence (AI), automation and robotics, industrial internet of things (IIoT), quantum computing, and virtual reality and augmented reality (XR) hold tremendous potential to remake the American manufacturing base. However, fulfilling the potential of these technologies requires collaboration with key stakeholders; policy research; and workforce development.
The Knudsen Institute was founded on the idea that technology and policy must be developed in an integrated fashion. That will enable a truly resilient domestic manufacturing industrial base capable of meeting surge requirements.

SADE: Semi-Autonomous Data Engine
The Knudsen Institute is committed to having up-to-date, detailed, and accurate knowledge of the supply chain. To this end, we are supporting the development of an autonomous data engine that is continuously collecting data from a variety of sources.
