The program will be accepting submissions that are geared towards \u201cinfrastructure, based on real-time cloud and on-premise digital twin benefiting from blockchain technologies\u2019 robustness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Digital Twin Plus Blockchain Possibilities<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A digital twin is a virtual image or replica of any physical entity, asset, or operation, whether a machine, object, piece of infrastructure, or human being. Combining digital twins with blockchain attributes can lend a lot of credibility to products and provide an accountable way of verifying product source and authenticity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Combining digital twins with blockchain can give specific benefits for industries such as the Internet of Things, which can be used for predictive maintenance in manufacturing environments, among other applications.\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Eligible proposals are expected to cover studies or prototypes that would provide the potential to adapt defense technology, and still come up with results that are cost-effective and adaptable for military use. This is required because the project will aim to improve existing military logistical requirements, such as maintenance, supply chains, and energy use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Programme will be accepting submissions from April 15, with the closing date slated for December 1, 2020, although that date may be extended if delays arise due to the current CoronaVirus crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blockchain opening new frontiers<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Blockchain has come into its reputation, separate from Bitcoin\u2019s notorious rep for being the stuff of dark webs and shady deals.
