In December, the chapter organized an event in Rome titled, "Digital Twin: a New Ecosystem Defence," hosted by the Transmission School of the Italian Army. The continuous interest in new technologies drove the chapter to dedicate the last event in 2022 to the digital twin topic, providing an overview of its main features and applications.
Lt. Gen. Antonio Tangorra, chapter president, and Brig. Gen. Davide Pilatti, Italian Army, chief of the Transmission Command, welcomed all participants with an introductory address.
The first speech, "The Use of the Digital Twins - the Experiences Matured at NAVARM," was given by Cmdr. Gianluca Marcigli, NAVARM. They illustrated how the digital twin can support design and system life-cycle management with models that can be reused and integrated.
"Digital Twin: Modelling and Applications," by Alfonso Pierantonio, professor, Aquila University, illustrated the digital twin principles and the several application domains, mainly in manufacturing, where it can play a key role.
Alessio Campana, Elettronica, presented "Digital Twin Methodology in EMSO," and explained how the digital twin can modify the approach to EMSO (Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations) to run after changes in assets and scenarios driven by the digital transformation.
"Between Imagination and Reality: How To Model, Simulate and Protect a Digital Twin " presented by Lt. Col. Andrea Bertagna and Lt. Col. Marco Biagini, SEGREDIFESA V REPARTO, underlined the role of technology innovation for the future capabilities of the national security and defence institutions, presenting the current initiatives for the application of the digital twins in different sectors.
Nicola Grandis, DigitalPlatforms, presented "Artificial Intelligence and IoT for the Digital Twin and Improvement of Security in Operations,' detailing how artificial Intelligence (AI) can support the design of digital twins.
Marco Chessari and Emanuele Borasio, Teleconsys, gave a speech titled "Distributed Register Technologies for the Digital Twin Reliability and Its Application in Operational Scenarios," illustrating how digital twin can cover the whole system's life cycle, reducing repair/maintenance time of assets and infrastructures.
"Digital Twin: Possible Applications in the Italian Air Force Logistics," by Lt. Col. Andrea Mercuri, ITAF, Logistic Command, depicted how the Italian Air Force is evaluating the introduction of digital twins for ensuring the technical efficiency and the logistic support to its land and avionic defence systems.
Roberta Colombari, Leonardo, presented "Digital Twin: an Opportunity for Leonardo,' detailing how the company considers this methodology an enabler toward digital transformation, introducing the digital twin to develop collaborative environments.
Marco Evangelos Biancolini, Roma-Tor Vergata University, presented "Set-up of Digital Twins Through CAE Full Details Simulations Digital Twin," illustrating the main projects the university is working on and detailing some initiatives about its applications with AI, machine learning and numerical simulations.
At the end of the presentations, Gen. Tangorra thanked all speakers for providing an exhaustive overview of this new methodology, and he extended season greetings to all participants.
