Developing Digital Twins for Defense & Intelligence Organizations

Get enhanced mission support with ArcGIS

A digital twin is a virtual representation of the real world, including physical objects, processes, relationships, and behaviors. Esri’s ArcGIS provides a system for capturing and representing place and time in 2D and 3D. Location is the common key that’s needed to integrate disparate data and information into a common framework for visualization, analysis, and enhanced and efficient decision-making. Developing digital twins enables defense and intelligence leaders to understand the impacts of external factors, mitigate risk, and plan operations.
