Abstract
This work presents and catalyzes support for a technology roadmap to improve the resilience and capacity of the US manufacturing supply chain through Digital Thread technology. Risks to supply chain resilience and capacity are mapped against envisioned capabilities for Digital Thread technology in 4 industry sectors. The sectors are Aerospace and Defense, Energy, Agriculture/Food, and the Pharmaceutical, Biopharmaceutical, and Medical Device (PBMD).
