The DDS have announced a major upgrade to their real-time virtual representation of the DDS armed forces. This ties in transponders in DDS hardware (such as space ships, major land weapons) along with sensor information to produce a virtual representation of DDS space. This representation can be interacted with using VR technology. Since version 2.0 the DDS have been able to allow personnel to take part in battles remotely. A recent example is when Windy controlled a tank in a DDS exercise even though really he was on a spaceship on the other side of DDS space.
Version 3.0 is a major hardware upgrade to improve response speed and the level of detail. The system is also integrated with the FEDO system being rolled out onto DDS spaceships to allow remote operation and virtual interaction.
Virtual Universe allows DDS commanders to have an immediate real-time view of their forces in operation and also for training to take place in realistic scenarios.
