Q and A begins at 1:05:47 to 1:32:47
- This question is for
each of you, do you consider digital transformation the same between each
of the Services and is it the same between each of the Services'
applications, whether it's ground, air, space, under sea surface?
- I'll open it up to
whoever wants to share on this topic. It's what's your definition of a
digital twin? And then the second part of it is what's a good analogy to
describe what a digital twin is?
- How is Agile process
incorporated into your digital transformation approach? And is Agile or a
waterfall process used in contracting for your digital transformation?
- I have one last
question. Is there an ability to flow what we're learning from contracting
with our CDRLs and DIDs into the ASSIST database? Is there someplace where
we can share the information?
