MOVES Institute Hosts Academic Working Group

By MC3 Michael Ehrlich

Associate Professor of Computer Science Dr. Mathias Kölsch presents the latest developments in augmented reality during the Modeling, Virtual Environments and Simulation (MOVES) Institute's Academic Working Group, May 22. The MOVES Institute's programs are designed to advance the operational effectiveness of U.S. joint forces and our allies through superior education and research in the field of modeling and simulation.

U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Walt Yates, currently serving as a Program Manager for Training Systems, attended the MOVES working group, and noted he has high expectations for graduates, having been one of the first Marine Corps officers to complete the program in 2004.

"Our expectations of MOVES graduates is that they are going to be special staff officers that advise commanders on how they implement and employ modeling and simulation to make decisions and train marines, and other branches," said Yates.

The two-day working group provides an opportunity for MOVES personnel to meet with stakeholder organizations to discuss the university's modeling and simulation academic program and supporting research. The overall goal of the effort is to review current programs, identify where modeling and simulation is headed in the future, and strategize a path forward for MOVES to meet those challenges.

"Modeling and simulation is growing everywhere, with the focus at NPS on military training, analysis and planning," said Yates. "NPS is a unique opportunity for military officers to go into research-based study, unique to the needs of the military. This is the type of thing that is only taught here because of its application to the military."
