Digital Twin for Defence Engineering Support
Digital Technologies have melded over the last two dec-ades to make the virtual world Digital Twin of a physical asset both possible and valuable. A Digital Twin ap-proach can have the benefits of reducing the need for physical assets during design, development and test activities, reducing costs and therefore increase speed to market. They can also optimise a physical asset’s maintainability and availability making it possible to do more with less. Typically, 15–25% savings have been identified in different domains including the built envi-ronment, transportation and energy. Gartner found that “24% of organizations already use Digital Twins and an-other 42% plan to use them within the next three years”.
