“… digital is the new battlefield. Wars will be won and lost based on how well we digitally design. So let’s make sure that our victories are won digitally first, so that they’re won decidedly after.”

To Be Confirmed

• Will Roper
  Senior Counselor, Pallas Advisors; former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics

Description

“A Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a connected physical asset and encompasses its entire product lifecycle... This in turns leads to significant decreases in the resources needed to design, produce, and keep aerospace assets operational.” (Digital Twin: Definition and Value, AIAA and AIA Position Paper, December 2020.) In this session we’ll learn how industry is applying digital thread to air vehicle design and the benefits and challenges that come with this.

Panelists

Description

“A Digital Twin applied to an individual final asset creates the maximum business value by quantifying knowledge about the state of the asset, enhancing operational performance (including autonomous control), providing prognostics for sustainment and life extension, extracting user preferences, and, creating knowledge for the next product and enabling feedback during early trade analyses” (“Digital Twin: Definition & Value,” AIAA and AIA Position Paper, December 2020). Learn how machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics play a critical role in production and sustainment in the digital ecosystem.
