Model Based Design in EW
Sept. 5 | 2 PM ET

Connecting physical objects – whether machinery, wearables or even natural elements – offers unprecedented data insights. Using AI and digital twins as tools for early decision making to acquire capabilities from the new sensor world. These could be powerful tools to use in early market research elements such as predictive modeling, design validation and other early system engineering decision making processes specifically to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the design and development stages. Digital twin in a simulation environment can help AOC customers to segment their customers [user, operator, commander, supervisor] based on their behavior, preferences and needs. AOC could then tailor their marketing efforts [read – stakeholder management] to specific groups of customers, which can lead to better engagement and higher acceptance of the solution – this is the ‘marketing’ side, i.e., convincing constituent stakeholders of the viability and feasibility of the solution (and documenting it in a tailored SE set of processes). Some ways to use digital twin and AI will be discussed at the presentation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu changed the terms of a U.S.-backed truce deal that was mostly in place by later adding a "clarifications'' document, an Israeli news outlet reported Tuesday. (USA Today)

Two ballistic missiles blasted a military academy and nearby hospital Tuesday in Ukraine, killing more than 50 people and wounding more than 200 others, Ukrainian officials said, in one of the deadliest Russian strikes since the war began. (AP)

Some do it for the money; others for the motherland. Still others because they “just don’t have anything else to do.” Whatever their motivation, an unknown number of Siberia’s homeless have signed contracts to fight in Ukraine, just as Moscow, seeking to avoid another politically fraught mobilization, struggles to meet its manpower needs, which have now been boosted by a three-week-long Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s western Kursk region.
