Digital Engineering for Nuclear Surety
Digital engineering for nuclear surety is an emerging field that leverages advanced digital technologies to enhance the safety, security, and reliability of nuclear operations and facilities. It encompasses a wide range of activities and disciplines, from digital simulation and modeling of nuclear systems to the application of digital twin technologies for the real-time monitoring and management of nuclear materials and reactors.
Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract
The Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC), valued at $46 billion, is an expansive contract designed to streamline digital acquisitions, employ agile methodologies, promote open systems architecture, and advance enterprise analytics. This contract vehicle serves as a strategic mechanism for the Department of the Air Force, aiding both the Air Force Materiel Command and Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
Its objectives include supporting system development, expediting prototyping, enhancing system integration, fostering open systems architecture, and leveraging enterprise analytics to benefit Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) and its allied mission partners.
Functioning as the primary channel for launching initiatives that underscore openness, agility, and digital innovation, EWAAC is instrumental in applying a “digital trinity” principle within its operations. This principle is foundational to:
- Digital Standardization: The creation and adoption of uniform digital practices and protocols throughout various programs and initiatives.
- Transformation: The recalibration of current processes and systems towards more digitally adept and efficient frameworks.
- Weapons Digitization: The integration of advanced digital technologies and standards into weapons systems to amplify their operational effectiveness and performance.
