NATO Human Digital Twin in the Military: Findings and Perspective

Join us for this Three Day Event!!

December 10, at 9:00 AM

 

The objective of this Specialists’ Meeting is to examine the use of Human Digital Twins (HDTs) in the military. HDTs are digital counterparts of real-life individuals, which capture and simulate the physical, mental and social aspects of a human. They are used in a variety of applications, including simulation and training, robotics, biomedical research, decision support and others. This activity is not intended to create a HDT or collect data useful in a HDT but to understand activities with respect to military relevant application. If successful, the Research Specialist Meeting (RSM) will drive a common understanding of terminology, an inclusive set of use cases, and an understanding of current capabilities to drive a shared vision of HDTs and their applications.The meeting is open to citizens from NATO member countries and NATO partnership format nations: Partnership for Peace (PfP), Mediterranean Dialogue (MD), Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI), Partners across the Globe (GP) as well as the following contact country - Singapore. Please note that this is an in-person only event (hybrid/virtual attendance is not possible).

This registration is for individuals who are attending the HFM-MSG-375 Research Specialists' Meeting.
