Robert J. Rencher, Associate Technical Fellow

As a Sr. System Engineer, Robert's primary area of expertise is in the identification and validation of strategic Information Technology solutions for Boeing and the aviation industry.

An effective expert in addressing issues related to complex airline and aviation information systems; specifically the integration, security and performance of the global information technology infrastructure utilized by the commercial aviation industry.

Co-leads the Boeing enterprise Internet of Things/Digital Business strategy team. His contributions in this responsibility include leading the identification of opportunities, proposing strategic partnering relationships and the demonstration of Boeing's strategic technical capability.

Works closely with NIST, NCOIC, and the FAA on issues of national airspace security.

Joined Boeing in 1987 as a Systems Analyst.

Robert holds a BS degree in Operations Research and MBA in Information Technology. A member of the Boeing Technical Fellow.

Transforming the Aviation Industry

“The Lifecycle of an Aircraft Digital Twin”• A digital twin is defined within a system representing the characteristics of the object

and the virtual environment in which the digital representation of objects and their physical equivalent is manifest.

• The commencement of the digital twin definition begins with the design objectives of the physical object.

• The value of maintaining an accurate and detailed representation of the “digital twin” is reflective of the improved product design, quality, service-ability andresidual value.

• The concept of a “digital twin” is not restricted to the manufactured object. Indeed, the factory itself can be defined as a digital twin to the physical factory. Systems within the factory and the personnel who work within a defined environment may be included in the digital definition.

• There are several notable applications of the digital twin in the aerospace industry. The most dynamic value creation opportunity results from trusted information sources that are currently unavailable to the aviation industry.

Trends that impact Internet of Things

Data proliferation

▪ Data is accumulating faster than it can be organized, categorized, or protected.▪ Data is often more valuable than physical assets, but data protection typically lags

physical asset protection.▪ Current data protection technologies are losing their effectiveness

Rapid transition to ‘smart’ technology

▪ Information & Communications Technology (ICT) increasingly relies on small, cheap, poorly protected Internet of Things (IoT) based services.

▪ ICT based ecosystems are becoming less tolerant of service disruptions.▪ Many “smart” devices operate without direct human intervention or control.

Over reliance on the Internet

▪ Intellectual property and critical services are transitioning to the Internet with no viable return path.

▪ Over reliance on a decades-old Internet infrastructure puts both national security and the global economy at risk.

Expanding cyber attacks

▪ Every device, every bit of data, and every service of value is under attack.▪ Cyber attackers continue to steal intellectual property, PII, and other valuable data.▪ Targets have expanded to include Industrial Control systems (ICS) and IoT devices.▪ The velocity and sophistication of cyber attacks are evolving, rapidly, faster than defenses.

Complex

cyber

ecosystem

▪ The growing knowledge gap that exists between end users and ICT specialists provides an opportunity for cyber attackers.

▪ Regulatory policies and controls often hamper, instead of help, protection of cyber resources, potentially fragmenting the Internet and causing disruption.
