The approval follows LR’s technical assessment of Navantia’s development, governance, and validation processes for digital twins, based on an air-cooling system digital twin developed for naval use . While digital twins have gained traction in the commercial shipping sector, their uptake in naval applications has remained limited, largely due to the complexity of systems and the critical nature of operations. The framework is intended to support the safe deployment of data-driven and machine learning-based condition monitoring, as well as digital health management systems, across future naval programs. The air-cooling system digital twin combines data-driven algorithms and machine learning models to analyze sensor data, monitor system behavior, and identify early signs of abnormal performance, supporting more informed maintenance and operational decisions. The air-cooling equipment used in this initiative was made available by Frizonia.…
