PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

During Eurosatory, at booth #J108 in Hall 5 (simulation), MASA Group (MASA), a leading developer of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based Modeling & Simulation (M&S) software for the defense, public safety, emergency management, serious games and games-related markets, will present the latest version of MASA SWORD, the companys automated, aggregated constructive simulation software for efficient training and analysis.

SWORD helps users develop and deploy advanced and highly realistic scenarios for the training of decision-makers in command posts and crisis centers, as well as for the analysis of military doctrines and emergency procedures.

Through a number of live demonstrations at its booth and at the booth of the DGA (the French defense procurement agency, Hall 5, booth #J269), Eurosatory visitors will see how SWORD brings unprecedented levels of interoperability with GIS, C2/C4ISR systems (e.g Systematics SitaWare Headquarters) and other simulations (e.g Bohemia Interactives VBS2, MKs VR-Forces and Cassidians ORQUE).

Show attendees will also see how the new version of SWORD establishes a defense-security continuum one of the key themes of Eurosatory this year - and emulates civilian-military cooperation. SWORD 5.0 offers defense and public safety organizations and systems integrators worldwide a host of new features and functionalities designed to address modern training and analysis requirements within a context of reduced budgets.

Furthermore, MASA will participate in SimDef 2012, a seminar on simulation for defense applications, organized by the EMA (joint staff of the French armed forces) and by the DGA with the support of the ADIS group.

Simulation has become critical for cost-conscious defense and public safety organizations worldwide. This is one of the reasons why MASA has developed SWORD, an automated and aggregated constructive simulation powered by MASAs innovative artificial-intelligence technology, which enables leaders and decision makers to do more with less," Juan-Pablo Torres, MASA Groups President and CEO, commented. We are looking forward to sharing our software innovations with key industry players at Eurosatory this year. More specifically, we are keenly interested in how they will leverage SWORDs ability to bridge the operational and simulation worlds in order to cost-effectively address the new requirements of the defense-security continuum.
