Digital delivery, the adoption of new technology for capturing, assuring and using digital data efficiently and effectively, could transform how we plan and deliver our decommissioning mission (NDA Grand Challenge 4). We are therefore interested in new technologies and techniques that:
capture digital data, for example Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR);
manipulate digital data, for example, machine learning or artificial intelligence (one of the 5 critical technologies identified by Department for Science Innovation and technology);
present digital data, for example, virtual reality or augmented reality; and
predict the performance of physical systems, for example, digital twins.
We are also interested in research that would help us to store and exploit information, both analogue and digital, more efficiently and effectively, particularly over long timescales and for dispersed locations.
