Digital Twins Reach the Battlefield

⊲ Medium ⊳ David Burden explores how digital twins are moving beyond industrial systems into military operations, creating detailed battlefield models that combine platforms, infrastructure and human behaviour. The article outlines how AI, simulation and live operational data could support command, logistics, intelligence and planning through a unified battlefield digital twin. It also examines the military metaverse as a possible interface for managing these complex systems, while highlighting major challenges around resilience, interoperability, cognitive overload and modelling human behaviour in combat.
