Digital Twin “TRUST” Verification & Validation Guide (2023-329-003)

OBJECTIVE

This project’s overall goal is to develop and demonstrate verification and validation (V&V) guidance that government agencies and the shipbuilding and ship repair industry can use jointly and collaboratively to establish trust in the wide range of technologies and applications often referred to as Digital Twins.

SUMMARY

The project scope will include the following:

• Phase 1

o Define an ontology for describing the types and levels of maturity of Digital Twin applications

o Establish a foundational approach for V&V on such applications as well as methods, procedures, and tools most appropriate for various types of applications

• Phase 2

o Demonstrate the V&V guidance on actual Digital Twin applications that have been developed by shipyards for government programs o Document the resulting best practices guidance and experience in a guidance document that ABS will issue and update/maintain for government and industry use

o Summarize the results in an overall final research report

 

KEY DELIVERABLES / BENEFITS

• Publication of an ABS Guide on Verification & Validation of Digital Twin Technology Applications
• ABS webinar for Government and Industry on the ABS guidance publication
• Final report documenting the research process and the demonstrations of the recommended V&V approach/criteria on real Digital Twin technology
