Summary:

The integration of digital twins within a digital thread framework offers significant benefits for managing Army ground and surface water vehicles. This paper examines how digital twins can enhance lifecycle management, operational efficiency, and maintenance for mature and new military vehicle programs. Scalable and cost-effective implementation with layered capabilities allows organizations to start with a cost-effective foundational model and phase in additional layers of capability over time. This phased approach allows you to expand your digital twin capabilities as program budgets permit, ensuring that you can adapt to evolving requirements without overwhelming upfront investment. For established programs, digital twins enable real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and data-driven decisions, improving resource allocation and cutting costs. For new programs, they speed up prototyping, integrate modern technologies, and enhance training capabilities. Case studies demonstrate that digital twins can simulate vehicle performance, support proactive maintenance, and improve resource management. Despite challenges like data integration and cybersecurity, our findings highlight the potential of digital twins to boost the resilience and readiness of military fleets, ultimately aiding mission success. This research provides a roadmap for military stakeholders to modernize vehicle management using advanced digital technologies
