Imagine 4D continues to expand its portfolio of Digital Twin solutions through its Digital Twin Framework, an integrated software suite designed to support a broad range of digital applications. At CANSEC 2026 the company will demonstrate their vision for a Digital Twin focussed sustainment model for the Canadian Armed Forces.

Beyond high-fidelity 3D environments generated from engineering data, the framework enables the integration of simulation models, real-time data, enterprise applications, and connectivity to the real asset. This approach has been deployed with a range of stakeholders, including naval and land platform OEMs, automation system providers, defense sustainment organizations, and operators.

The platform is designed to support a distributed sustainment model involving CAF, DND, Canadian industry, and OEM partners. It provides a unified, data-centric environment where stakeholders can securely access information, collaborate, and support coordinated decision-making. Through its virtual asset, detailed to the component level, it enables a shared operational view across multiple sites, contributing to improved governance, transparency, and responsiveness.

The framework integrates heterogeneous data sources – including Platform Management Systems, ERP/MPR applications (e.g. DRMIS), logistics platforms, engineering databases, and training systems – into a cohesive digital environment. It also supports advanced analytics and dashboards, including real-time performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and predictive insights, to inform decision-making and contribute to operational readiness.

“Our Digital Twin Framework is purpose-built to empower a domestically anchored sustainment model,” said George Karam, CEO of Imagine 4D. “Whether on land, in air or at sea, we are working to provide CAF with the sovereign tools needed to improve sustainment and operational readiness.”

Imagine 4D is pleased to be selected by a major Canadian simulator provider for the nuclear power industry to supply the complete Main Control Room (MCR) hardware solution for a full scope nuclear power plant operator training simulator. This project brings together Imagine 4D’s decades of manufacturing know-how and electronic equipment design to deliver replica power plant MCR panel structures, OEM instrumentation, custom parts as well as re-engineered instrumentation no longer in production. 

The MCR is at the heart of nuclear power plants – housing the plant control system interfaces, plant monitoring equipment, plant data acquisition system interface, communication interface to local operators, etc. The plant simulator MCR replicates the production plant’s MCR for operator training. It is essential that plant operators recognize every instrument and panel marking, their locations, the way they feel and behave for training sessions as well as examinations. 

Imagine 4D is honored to be trusted by a critical Canadian industrial sector to help maintain Canada’s future energy production demands. Imagine 4D will deploy its’ turnkey manufacturing capabilities in undertaking this project that is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027.

Montreal, Canada – March 18 2026 – Imagine 4D, a Canadian technology company headquartered in Montreal, has signed a Teaming Agreement with TKMS, the world’s most experienced builder of conventional submarines, to deliver advanced digital twin technologies to meet the continuous capability sustainment requirements of the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project (CPSP).

This collaboration aligns with TKMS’s recent series of CPSP‑focused teaming initiatives, each aimed at strengthening Canada’s sovereign industrial capability and creating long‑term economic and technological value.

Under the agreement, Imagine 4D will deliver an Intelligent Digital Twin solution enhanced by AI and simulation capabilities to support lifecycle management of TKMS’s 212CD submarine. A key deliverable is the creation of a Virtual Boat Zero – a comprehensive, live digital reference environment designed to provide a durable, data‑driven foundation for fleet sustainment and long‑term operational readiness.

“We are honoured to collaborate with TKMS on an initiative of such national significance,” said George Karam, CEO of Imagine 4D.

“As a Canadian company, we are proud to bring home‑grown, Canadian innovation to the CPSP. By deploying our Digital Twin Framework to create a live Virtual Boat Zero that integrates AI and simulation capabilities, we are delivering a powerful, integrated digital foundation that will help TKMS and the Royal Canadian Navy better understand and manage complex submarine systems for decades to come.”
