In the space once reserved for President Ronald Reagan’s old Star Wars program, sits the world’s third most-powerful supercomputer. Known as Intrepid, the machine resembles five rows of black refrigerators. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will rely on Intrepid to increase its chances of knowing when and where storms will hit – hurricanes in particular.

In the not too distant future, we can expect to see our skies filled with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) delivering packages, maybe even people, from location to location. In such a world, there will also be a digital twin for each UAV in the fleet: a virtual model that will follow the UAV through its existence, evolving with time. Read more…
