Digital twins critical for digital transformation of the aerospace-defense industry<\/h4>\n

BOSTON, MA \u2013 APRIL 17, 2025<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Today,\u00a0the Digital Twin Consortium<\/a>\u00ae (DTC) published\u00a0the\u00a0Aerospace-Defense: Digital Twin Research and Technology Gap Analysis<\/em><\/a>\u00a0Whitepaper to address the challenges of digital twin adoption in the Aerospace-Defense industry. The paper provides recommendations for implementing digital twins throughout the product lifecycle, assisting the Aerospace-Defense industry in understanding the requirements for successfully deploying these digital twin-enabling technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandards-based alignment of digital thread and digital twin capabilities is critical for enabling scalable, interoperable systems across the Department of Defense,\u201d said Dan Isaacs, GM & CTO of the DTC. \u201cIt empowers stakeholders to integrate faster, manage complexity, and optimize lifecycle outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe digital twins in the DoD ecosystem are vital for weapon systems, logistics, maintenance, and readiness,\u201d said one of the whitepaper\u2019s authors, Brian Schmidt, Co-Chair of the DTC Aerospace & Defense Working Group and Technical Fellow & Chief Engineer at Northrop Grumman. \u201cThe new government directive DoD 5000.97 calls for using digital engineering methodologies, technologies, and practices across the life cycle of defense acquisition programs. It places stringent security controls on sensitive and classified data, vital for digital twins used in military applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Department of Defense (DoD) branches are developing and deploying digital transformation strategies. These strategies include digital twins and rely on established standards to govern their development,\u201d said one of the whitepaper\u2019s authors, David Shaw, Co-Chair of the Aerospace & Defense Working Group and President and CEO at Intuitus Corporation. \u201cWe must examine the standards that currently support digital twins, identify gaps in the governance landscape, set expectations on future standard development, develop advocacy, and make recommendations for a path forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Aerospace-Defense: Digital Twin Research and Technology Gap Analysis Whitepaper<\/em>\u00a0offers guidance for digital twin adoption and digital transformation in the following areas:<\/p>\n
