The Techne–Phronesis Negotiation Framework™ (TPNF): Creating a Digital Twin of SR-71? — A Challenge of Defense Technological Evolution or Long-Term Strategic Value Creation? By Nikos Chatzis / Goal Consulting
This TPNF essay examines the possible creation of an SR-71 digital twin as a theoretical case of technological evolution. Current reporting has raised the possibility that digital engineering could support efforts surrounding NASA’s SR-71A tail number 844. No publicly confirmed NASA digital-twin program for the aircraft has been announced. The case nevertheless provides an important strategic question: Can digital engineering transform legacy technological achievements into Strategic Knowledge Infrastructure™ capable of generating new Long-Term Strategic Value?
