What is Digital Engineering?

Digital Engineering (DE) is an integrated digital approach that uses authoritative sources of systems data and models as a continuum across disciplines to support lifecycle activities from concept through disposal. It focuses on creating and using digital representations of systems and their components to improve design, development, and operation. Common uses include simulating system performance, identifying potential issues early in the design process, and facilitating collaboration among different engineering teams. It also enables better decision-making by providing a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the system throughout its lifecycle.
