Echelon
Abstract
This project will develop a common digital twin technical framework capable of supporting a wide variety of military RF systems. Echelon will support virtual testing of digital twin prototypes, enabling the Department of Defense to evaluate the effectiveness of prototype systems or subsystems in realistic environments and against red threats early in development. The developed high-fidelity multi-physics framework/testbed will enable Service research and acquisition programs to mature digital twin prototypes prior to purchasing extensive hardware enabling programs to shorten the development lifecycle of current system upgrades and next generation systems. This effort includes the hardware and software implementation of the first instantiation of the Echelon technical framework. During FY 2021, the Echelon project completed use case definitions, requirements derivation, and assessed/identified available tools to be leveraged for the digital twin framework baseline. In addition, the Echelon project established an initial model based systems engineering (MBSE) model for the project. This MBSE model will evolve as the digital twin framework is further developed in FY 2022 and FY 2023.
