- The Hololab will demonstrate how planning concepts and technologies can be incorporated for a more resilient installation
- The model is part of the $4.9 billion rebuild schedule
The Digital Twin Hololab went live at Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), Florida, to showcase the base in a digital model as part of Installation of the Future efforts. The digital base will allow planning concepts and technologies to be integrated and enable numerous capabilities for warfighters throughout the Air Force.
The Hololab is the primary interface with the Digital Twin of Tyndall AFB, said Lowell Usrey, Air Force Civil Engineer Center Natural Disaster Recovery Division branch chief. The Digital Twin is a “near life-like, virtual representation of the physical world,” Usrey said. “This is the place where Airmen can interact with the model using virtual reality goggles or just a good old-fashioned computer screen.”
The Hololab demonstrates how these concepts and technologies have been incorporated to help create a more resilient, efficient and sustainable installation. The model itself is tied to the overall $4.9 billion rebuild schedule, enabling views of the installation at any given point in time.
“We are making the Hololab accessible because we want to spread knowledge of how the Digital Twin will help us with our mission today, as well as spark conversations of how it can help us in the future,” said Col. Travis Leighton, NDR division chief.
Visitors will be able to explore what it’s like to operate the systems that are built into the virtual replica of the installation. For example, facilities’ operators can view the real-time condition of assets as they explore the model.
The Digital Twin is one of many new technologies being implemented to transform Tyndall AFB into the Department of the Air Force’s Installation of the Future.
