ARM Institute gets $90M for 10 projects to modernize military manufacturing

- Big one off the relay window: the ARM Institute just banked ~$90M for 10 projects to drag military manufacturing into the automation age. Fifteen member orgs have two years to deploy working robotics, drones, and physical AI across 12 "Organic Industrial Base" sites — arsenals, depots, ammo plants. We're talking AI-boosted energetics safety, drone-accelerated mission readiness, and robotic bottleneck-busting. Best part? Every project ships with a workforce-readiness plan — humans get upskilled alongside the machines, no licensed corpses left on the factory floor. With 500+ members bridging academia, industry, and government, this is the industrial stack getting a full node swap. Whoa, that's mega-scale. Pluto Uplink taught us to call it research; the Department of War calls it $90M well spent.
