It’s a big day today. @thefourthlawai and @SystemsOdd have announced the launch of Project Foundation, a semiconductor initiative to mass-produce thermal imaging sensors for Ukraine, the rest of Europe and the United States. The initiative covers the development of LWIR sensors and the deployment of a network of partner-operated and in-house manufacturing facilities. It will create a new industrial base for defense and civilian needs and supply affordable sensors to manufacturers of drones, vehicles, and robotics. It is imperative that we provide sensor sovereignty for the EU and US on the shortest timeline possible. After building RGB and LWIR cameras for 14 years we know exactly what the future robotics, defense, and automotive industries need. The project is headquartered in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, one of Europe’s leading semiconductor hubs. Its first fabs, First Foundation and Second Foundation, will open in Europe and the US, respectively. The team is led by Igor Nakonechnyi, a boyscout with a PhD in semiconductor chemistry, and a top manager of exceptional depth and energy. The first sensors under the initiative are expected as early as 2027. thefourthlaw.ai/blog/project… === As usual – please consider joining our team. To make this happen, we will need all the smart and hard-working people we can get.
