GERMANTOWN, Md.; December 1, 2020 –Amentum, a leading contractor to U.S. federal and allied governments, has been selected by the SecureAmerica Institute (SAI) to develop a real-time 2D/3D visual modeling and simulation framework. Amentum’ s concept was competitively selected from among 30 proposals received by SAI to advance the resiliency of U.S. manufacturing and enhance the security of the U.S. Defense Industrial Base.
Amentum’ s sensor fusion concept will be developed in partnership with Unity Software and will enhance the security and resilience of U.S. manufacturers and their supply chains. The concept will provide a common framework to model, analyze, and predict through an aggregation of real-world, sensor fusion scenarios. The Amentum concept leverages the continued exponential growth of sensors and sensor fusion to provide deep insights and improved situational awareness required by planners and researchers.
“Our concept will deliver a state-of-the-art framework and toolkit that accelerates sensor fusion modeling and simulation, crucial to our national security,” said Phil Horvitz, Amentum’s chief technology officer. “The framework will allow planners to quickly create sensor models and share these models with a community of operators to enhance the security and resilience of our nation’s supply chain.”
To develop the framework, Amentum will partner will Unity Software, employing Unity’s state-of-the-art digital twin and sensor fusion technologies. Work will be performed over the next six to nine months at Amentum’s facilities with a pilot demonstration at Texas A&M.
