CyPhER Forge aims to revolutionize defense test and evaluation (T&E) by decoupling test duration from the complexity of physical systems. By slashing the number of required test points for developmental systems by an order of magnitude, you could dramatically accelerate the testing of combat systems, enabling warfighters to access cutting-edge technology faster.
The program will focus on making two core innovations: A real-time digital twin incorporating multi-physics-informed surrogate modeling, uncertainty quantification, and continuous data assimilation. An AI test agent that provides statistical safety guarantees, applies the twin to identify novel knowledge and maximize test protocols, then plans and executes testing with machine precision.
The integrated digital twin and AI test agent, or a Cyber Physical System Executing in Real Time (CyPhER), will be an automated, adaptive, end-to-end planning, execution, and analysis solution that operates in real time and directly addresses major drivers of modern T&E timelines.
The CyPhER Forge program will culminate in the demonstration of an accelerated flight sciences test campaign using an instrumented, experimental aircraft as the primary validation platform.
