Abstract:

Our objective is to leverage our extensive experience in digital twins across diverse private sector domains, including AEC, manufacturing, security, retail, and entertainment, to elucidate the multifaceted nature and potential applications of digital twins. To achieve this, our initial focus is on establishing a shared language, providing precise definitions, and categorizing the various levels and types of digital twins within the private sector. This foundational understanding will empower our audience to discern private sector solutions and how they may fit DOD needs.

The intricate landscape of digital twins encompasses varied types and levels, ranging from visual and maintenance-centric to those with IoT integrations facilitating rapid decision-making, and others designed explicitly for modeling, simulations, and predictive analysis. Following this comprehensive categorization in the initial section, our presentation proceeds to offer a high level overview of the intricate process involved in constructing digital twins. This section is intended to be a short and visual centric overview of how digital twins are built.

Subsequently, our presentation delves into a nuanced exploration of the evolving technologies integrated into digital twins. This segment aims to provide a deeper understanding of the technological foundations that underpin the diverse functionalities of digital twins.

Armed with a shared language, knowledge of the construction process, and insights into technological intricacies, we transition to demonstrating the potential applications of these solutions within the DOD, particularly in the realms of training and simulation.

In addressing potential concerns regarding the integration of digital twins in a DOD context, we proactively discuss best practices and industry standards observed in the private sector. By showcasing how these tools have been effectively leveraged alongside the regulatory frameworks governing them, we seek to instill confidence and understanding, laying the groundwork for the strategic incorporation of digital twins within defense operations.
