Integer Technologies has completed at-sea testing as part of its SBIR Phase 2 Award, Defining and Leveraging Digital Twins in Autonomous Undersea Operations (DELTA), with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
“Observing and communicating with undersea assets is challenging and thus forecasting what might happen on missions is very important, but also very difficult to do with any accuracy,” said Integer Technologies LLC Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Joshua Knight . “We are developing digital twins of all size classes of UUVs to overcome the sparsity of data, simulate missions, and adapt the mission plan before something goes wrong. We want to turn ‘What ifs’ into ‘What wills.’”
