Digital twin models at certain military installations

(a) In general Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of the military departments, shall carry out a three-year pilot program to implement digital twin models at not less than five covered military installations for the purposes of identifying any vulnerabilities or interdependencies of such covered military installations. (b) Requirements of models The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that each digital twin model represents a virtual model of the infrastructure systems of the respective covered military installation, including— (1) the energy systems; (2) the water systems; (3) the transportation systems; (4) the communications systems; and (5) any other critical mission-support systems. (c) Use of models The Secretary of Defense shall use such digital twin models to— (1) conduct an assessment of— (A) the infrastructure system of each covered military installation represented by such digital twin models; and (B) any public infrastructure systems, including local facilities of the bulk-power system, transportation systems, local systems for the distribution of fuel, and public water systems, that are used by such covered military installations; and (2) to evaluate, during a disruption scenario, the resilience and continuity of operations of such covered military installations, including during— (A) a cyber attack; (B) a kinetic attack; (C) a natural disaster; or (D) an interruption of the supply chains of such covered military installations. (d) Covered military installation In this section, the term covered military installation means a military installation that would be critical to a contingency operation in the Indo-Pacific region, as determined by the Secretary of Defense.
