Military Open Simulator Enterprise Strategy (MOSES) is a U.S. Army project evaluating the ability of OpenSimulator to provide independent and secured access to a virtual world.
To ensure continuity in the research and the investment in content, a pivot was made to a compatible Open Source platform, the OpenSimulator.
[3] MOSES was made open to non-U.S. Army researchers, including enterprise, university, Air Force and Navy, to encourage sharing of content creation and testing.
In cooperation with UCF/Institute for Simulation Technology, the MOSES team developed a content ingestion method to allow for actual operational areas to be scanned using LIDAR and then produce scenario output for use in a virtual world.
Dr. Douglas Maxwell calls for Open Simulator community to consider the formation of a foundation for the purpose of being an official contact and stakeholder.
