Leveraging Digital Twins for Aerospace and Defense

ASME TechCast

As an aerospace pioneer, Don Kinard, who is a senior fellow in production operations at the aeronautics business unit of Lockheed Martin, has been using digital twins for product applications even before the term was coined. In this podcast, he discusses the challenges of extending digital twins into operational environments and shares lessons learned at Lockheed that the engineering community can apply in the digital lifecycle. Kinard has been at Lockheed Martin from the early days of the F-35 program and served in both engineering and manufacturing roles for the F-22 development.
