The Future of Digital Twins: Challenges and Implications for National Security

Summary/Abstract: Digital Twins (DTs) are transforming how knowledge is generated and used. A Digital Twin is a set of data and information that fully describes a potential or actual physical object, process, or system. They are used in products, systems, and processes before and after their development, creating a means for determining the feasibility of production and modes of failure. Developments in computing power, artificial intelligence, big data and other new technologies are enabling replication of large complex systems with greater fidelity and predictive power. The purpose of this research paper is to present and identify the future prospects for Digital Twin applications, to understand where and how digital twins are used today, the prospects for their future use, and the potential implications for national security.
