The Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC) recently elected John Kelly to a three year term as an Industry Representative to its Board of Advisors.

VMASC is a not-for-profit, collaborative enterprise center of Old Dominion University.  Partnering with industry, government, military, and academia they focus on six core Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capabilities.  These core capabilities are:

  • Military M&S (primarily combat simulations)
  • Homeland Security and Homeland Defense
  • Medical Simulations
  • Transportation
  • Serious Gaming
  • Enterprise Executable Architectures

VMASC envisions being a global leader in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) research and development and an integrator of M&S with visualization technologies.

The economic development activities of VMASC are directed at expanding the application of modeling and simulation to benefit its members and to stimulate the technology-related economic development of Hampton Roads and the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Special emphasis is placed on exploring opportunities to transfer M&S  technology and know-how between the military and commercial sectors.

The VMASC Board of Advisors consists of nine representatives from the small, medium and large companies that comprise the VMASC industry membership.  Kelly’s duties as a member are to advise the director of VMASC about industry capabilities and issues in order to advance business development efforts and enhance VMASC’s unique market position. 

Kelly is the Manager of Expeditionary Warfare Analysis at WBB.  He is a retired Marine Infantry Officer with over a decade of experience in applying simulation technology to meet operational requirements. 

While at WBB he led Integrated Product Teams to successfully develop DoDAF Integrated Architectures, Net Ready Key Performance Parameters (NR-KPP), and Information Support Plans for critical programs including Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) enabling both Joint and Service interoperability certification.  He contributed significantly to the successful development and staffing of numerous Capability Development Documents and Analysis of Alternatives for a variety of Navy and Marine Corps programs.  He currently leads an effort to evaluate and enhance the interoperability of USMC Aviation and Ground training simulations.
