ERDC uses digital twin technology to recreate damaged Air Force base
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has partnered with Tyndall Air Force Base to complete a multibillion-dollar reconstruction project after Hurricane Michael destroyed 60 percent of the base in 2018. The use of digital twin technology has allowed leadership at Tyndall to virtually experience reconstruction plans, make decisions more easily, and perfect operations before actual construction begins. With the help of the ERDC’s Research and Development Environment network and digital twin technology, Tyndall is on its way to being the country’s most advanced military installation to date — an Installation of the Future.
