Wildfires are one of the most devastating natural disasters that threaten lives, property and ecosystems around the world. In 2021, more than 6.5 million acres of land were burned by wildfires in the U.S., and many more were affected by fires in other regions such as Siberia, Australia and the Mediterranean. To combat this global challenge, a collaboration between NVIDIA, Lockheed Martin and federal forest services is using artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin simulation to better understand, predict and respond to wildfires. What is a digital twin? A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical system or environment that can be used to simulate, analyze and optimize its behavior and performance. A digital twin can incorporate data from various sources, such as sensors, satellites, weather models and historical records, to create a realistic and dynamic model of the system or environment. How can a digital twin help fight wildfires? A digital twin of a wildfire can h...
