Babcock and Cranfield extend technology partnership
Babcock International and Cranfield University have announced a three-year extension to the existing partnership between the two organisations.
The collaboration is facilitated via Cranfield’s Through-Life Engineering Services Centre (TES) and focuses primarily on key areas of digitalisation such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and digital twins. Babcock and Cranfield are leading members of Team Defence Information’s (TDI) Community of Practice Group for Digital Twins, which also includes members such as Rolls-Royce, Atkins and BAE and KBR. The group is responsible for developing a roadmap for digital twins in defence, linking into the National Digital Twin Programme.
