Generating a digital virtual representation of a real object, or digital twin, will help the Air Force to develop and test weapons by enabling defense companies to fight each other’s designs virtually. Air Force researchers intend to stage regular competitions using digital twins, each dealing with a different technology area.

Digital twinning involves creating a detailed virtual model of an aircraft, weapon, or other object for testing without the time and expense of building an actual prototype.

Top administration officials, including Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Deputy National Security Adviser Anne Neuberger, briefed top utility industry executives on the efforts March. The plan, which could prompt widespread changes in standards and cyber defense strategies, is set to be issued within weeks.

The high-level meeting indicated the seriousness of the initiative, which is meant to knit together the government and private business to confront increasingly aggressive actions by U.S. adversaries to target the electrical grid. Those acts include operations to insert malicious software that could be activated to interfere with electricity generation or distribution in the U.S.

Systems integrators at Leidos Digital Solutions Inc. in Vienna, Va., will provide software development and engineering for a U.S. Navy decision-support system designed to help Navy commanders plan submarine warfare attacks on enemy vessels.

The AN/UYQ-100 provides network-centric capability that enables Navy anti-submarine warfare (ASW) commanders to plan and coordinate destroyer and aircraft carrier operations against enemy submarines. The system enables commanders to establish and maintain a common tactical picture and execute tactical control, Navy officials say.

U.S. military researchers are asking two U.S. companies to develop secure radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver technologies to enable the next generation of secure military tactical radio systems.

CACI won a $30.7 million contract on 25 March, and Perspecta Labs won a $19.2 million on 24 March. The companies are participating in the project’s first phase, by carrying the WiSPER system architecture through a conceptual design supported by modeling and simulation, culminating in a benchtop implementation and lab test. More WiSPER phase-one contracts may be awarded.
