The Digital Engineering Experience
Benefits of Digital Engineering:• Brings together people, process and tools into a
common information framework across the lifecycle.• Provides free-flow of information to eliminate manual
transfer of data and the costly errors that go with it.• It helps us discover and correct critical flaws upfront, before
they move downstream.• It lets stakeholders “see and touch” designs in virtual space
to identify problems before they go to production.• Designs are modeled so form, fit and function can all
be virtually validated before manufacturing.• Lowers cost of product development and unleashes
innovation by enabling us to quickly explore new ideas. Sources: Benchmark & research studies presented by LNS Research, US Navy Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), and National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST)
