There is an art to the transfer of understanding, and the transfer sequence is crucial.

 

At its core, digital engineering helps get ideas from one mind to another mind with minimum effort and maximum integrity. That means quickly relaying a comprehensive concept. 

However, that's the ideal. The reality is many organizations spend a lot of time getting concepts into some kind of model, which must be translated into another model, never quite managing to achieve common data, a common language, or the ultimate digital transformation objective.

Analytic gaming is a qualitative method exploring how different people think, this time about the pandemic's effects

COVID-19 has changed how business is done in unprecedented ways. Most SAIC employees are working from home and practicing social distancing when we normally would be working side by side with each other and our customers. This pandemic is requiring businesses to rethink, adapt, innovate, and problem-solve in new ways.

The coronavirus pandemic presents each of us with different challenges. Some of us need to manage stress better, while others may not be getting adequate sleep or may be having problems focusing while working from home.

SAIC has worked in the field of cognitive performance training (CPT) for more than a decade, training customers in the government, military, and private sector how to operate effectively in high-stress, critical jobs. The challenges related to the pandemic have expanded the need for cognitive strategies beyond these select groups.

Using today’s technology to train tomorrow’s space warfighters

 

The science of science fiction is more nonfictional almost every day. For example, look at the "Star Trek" franchise. Communicators on our wrists, laser weapons, and voice interface devices are all technological marvels that only existed in the “Star Trek” universe a few decades ago.

Digital engineering yields significant gains by reducing lead times, enabling informed decision-making, and ensuring more complete, consistent designs of engineered systems.

There is an impetus to adopt digital engineering by U.S. government agencies responsible for defense and national security, as part of the bigger digital transformation revolution. Many reports have indicated government respondents felt they were behind the private sector in use of digital technologies.

Repeatable digital engineering capabilities made possible through RAVE/AFSIM collaboration

If you ask three amateur chefs to bake a cake without providing a recipe card, you would likely get three different results. You hope you get a perfectly moist cake, but without a recipe, that may not happen.

By optimizing data gathering, HPC system metrics can be analyzed better

Executing the scientific mission of NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), which involves modeling, understanding, and then predicting the Earth's systems, is incredibly complex. Relying on high performance computing, is managed by huge scripts that define input data, experiment parameters, diagnostics, compute resources, data transfers, short- and long-term storage, and more. Today's "snap together" cluster computing solutions aim to meet complex mission needs like NOAA's.
