Lockheed Martin, NVIDIA to Build Digital Twin of Current Global Weather Conditions for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and #nvidia today announced a #collaboration to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Earth Observations Digital Twin that will provide the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with an efficient and centralized approach to monitor current global environmental conditions, including extreme weather events.
The two companies expect to fully integrate and demonstrate one of the variable data pipelines — sea surface temperature — by September 2023, one year after initial contract award.
Presently, #noaa receives terabytes of data about its five earth systems domains — the cryosphere, land, atmosphere, space weather and ocean — from numerous space and Earth-based sensor sources. #noaa administrators and researchers have to collect, combine and analyze that information to observe and understand environmental conditions and changes.
The new Earth Observations Digital Twin — developed under contract with #lockheedmartin Space, working with #nvidia — will provide #noaa with a high-resolution, accurate and timely depiction of global conditions, using current satellite and ground-based observations.
For the project, Lockheed Martin’s OpenRosetta3D™ platform will utilize AI and Machine Learning (ML) to ingest, format and fuse observations from multiple sources into a gridded data product and detect anomalies. #nvidia Omniverse Nucleus, the #collaboration and database engine of its Omniverse world simulation platform, will convert data into the Universal Scene Description framework, enabling data-sharing across multiple tools and between researchers. Agatha, a Lockheed Martin-developed visualization platform, will ingest this incoming data from Omniverse Nucleus and allow users to interact with it in an Earth-centric 3D environment.
“At #lockheedmartin we regularly use digital twins and AI to provide our government customers with the clearest, current situational picture and actionable intelligence for their important missions,” said #mattross, senior program manager at #lockheedmartin Space. “We’re pleased that we can use our technology experience to collaborate with #nvidia on this project to provide #noaa a timely, global visualization for their own important missions.”
“Digital twins will help us solve the world’s hardest scientific and environmental challenges,” said #dionharris, lead product manager of accelerated computing at #nvidia. “The combination of Lockheed Martin’s AI technology with #nvidia Omniverse will give #noaa researchers a powerful system to improve weather predictions at a global scale.”
Lockheed Martin and #nvidia are already collaborating on an effort to help fight wildfires, which have burned more than 7.2 million U.S. acres this year. By pairing Lockheed Martin’s AI/ML platforms and joint all domain command and control capabilities with NVIDIA’s Omniverse, the two companies are demonstrating how firefighters can use advanced technology to help better detect, predict and suppress wildfires.
