MASA Group has signed a major contract with the Spanish Army for the use of MASA SWORD. It includes the acquisition and full customization to the Spanish requirements of SWORD, MASA’s flagship constructive simulation software.
SWORD is an automated, aggregated, constructive simulation designed to improve training, analysis, and decision support for both commanding officers in the military and crisis managers in the emergency preparedness sector.
SWORD offers users realistic scenarios and an open simulation platform which is interoperable with other simulations and Command & Control (C2) systems. They can deploy it via distant servers (in the cloud) and can adapt into several languages. Ongoing versions include English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic. SWORD also includes an Artificial Intelligence engine developed by MASA.
The Spanish Army will use SWORD to improve the training of its command posts from Company and Battalion up to Brigade and Division level by simulating combat actions and combat-support actions.
MASA SWORD
The Spanish Army’s main goal in choosing SWORD is to have a versatile simulation which is deployable in many cases. These include Command Post Training, Crisis Management and Disaster Response, Logistic Command Post Training and in Urban Conflicts.
In the first two months after the acquisition, they integrated MASA SWORD in el CENAD San Gregorio in Zaragoza. CENAD stands for Centro Nacional de Adiestramiento, the National Training Centre.
El CENAD has chosen MASA SWORD mainly for its overall capabilities, versatility and flexibility. The task for el CENAD and MASA was to install SWORD and to have it fully operational in two months. MASA successfully accomplished this task. Now the first exercise with military Units will take place at the beginning of June.
Marc de Fritsch, CEO of MASA Group, said: "SWORD will significantly enhance the Army’s training capabilities, expanding the possibilities of Spanish and Multinational Command Post training scenarios.”
SWORD is in use with over 20 armies and system integrators around the world, including France, Belgium, Brazil and Bangladesh.
