AVL and QinetiQ have signed a memorandum of understanding to form a strategic partnership focused on defence, autonomous systems and land mobility programmes. The collaboration combines AVL’s expertise in simulation-driven development, virtual validation and digital twin technologies with QinetiQ’s capabilities in defence systems engineering, operational analysis and physical testing and evaluation.
The companies aim to advance Model-Based Systems Engineering and use a connected digital engineering approach that brings together physics-based modelling, digital twins, virtual and field testing. The partnership is intended to support defence system development and validation, optimise physical testing, enable lifecycle management and inform development decisions.
