About
OERI has evolved from the Virginia Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation Center (VMASC), which was established in 1997, and has been a secure and applied research and enterprise research facility of ODU. The continued success and growing recognition of VMASC as a global leader in the modeling and simulation sector has underscored the value of unifying research and commercial products.
In VMASC’s 25-year-history, the 125-million-dollar research center is a preview of what the OERI hopes to accomplish at the University level.
