Abstract
Dynamic Decision Making (DDM) is making a series of interdependent decisions to achieve some overall goal while adapting to the results of previous decisions alongside environmental changes. Examples vary from individual predictive maintenance to multi agent tasking. When making dynamic decisions, the goal is to minimize uncertainty for future actions by predicting consequences for both the individual and the group. In a squadron with vehicles of the same type, their performance is not exactly the same between them, such as fatigue rate and structural health. Infusing individual performance capabilities and their uncertainties can overwhelm the decision maker. One approach to improve the decision making process for multiple agents is through the use of Digital Twins. While a digital twin is a virtual representation of a connected physical system, the aspects of computational and physical requirements impact the overall capability and utility of their infusion. Furthermore, the aspects of fidelity, runtime, latency, and proximity (due to the physical requirements) need to be assessed to determine the value within multi agent DDM. The proposal seeks to evaluate the infusion of Digital Twins in a multi agent DDM architecture, the challenges with the infusion, and a comparison to historically deterministic decision making processes for a relevant aerospace scenario to trade overall mission effectiveness
