WORLD LEADING PROVIDER OF AI-BASED SIMULATION FOR

OPERATIONAL READINESS

ABOUT US

MASA Group is a leading international provider of advanced software solutions, Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technologies and applied research for the Defence, Homeland Security, Emergency Management, Serious Games and Games markets. Established for over 20 years, and based in Paris, France, MASA is a trusted developer of pioneering AI software which combines scalability, adaptability and low cost of ownership.

Over the years MASA’s client base has grown considerably and evolved to deliver both military and civil

training projects. MASA now works with agencies and militaries across 17 countries. SWORD remains MASA’s

flagship training product but the company’s civil emergency management software, SYNERGY, and AI

software development system, Direct AI, are also employed by organizations around the world.

The MASA product range, including MASA SWORD, MASA SYNERGY and Direct AI, is uniquely designed to

simplify and optimize the implementation of AI capabilities for automating and driving simulated behaviors. Such

capabilities allow developers and end-users in various sectors to focus their efforts on enabling a series of cost-

efficient and highly realistic applications – such as command staff training, crisis management preparedness,

exercise preparation, after-action review, doctrine and equipment analysis, and corporate training.

Today, MASA is focused on continual improvements to its core products, working with

clients and partners to further develop and enhance the technology.

SWORD

MASA’s flagship product, SWORD (Simulated Wargaming for Operational Readiness and Doctrine), is a proven digital wargame with automated forces used by over 15 armies worldwide. It is primarily used for command post exercises but also for operations research.

A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product, SWORD is powered by

innovative AI technology, enabling simulated units to act according

to an army’s doctrine validated by subject matter experts. This unique

capability means large-scale exercises are conducted in the most

realistic way possible, while minimizing the combined operating costs

and animation effort. Preparing military staff for action is made much

more efficient by training in a realistic operational environment, with

joint forces and allies, in a variety of different battlefield scenarios.

The use of SWORD can also be extended for dual purposes and

scenarios, including crisis management and counter-terrorism training.

“For the French Army, simulation is fundamental to its preparation for

operational engagement, as well as providing direct support for operations.

In meeting this challenge, MASA gained the trust of land forces, both

through the quality and realism of its SWORD and SOULT products,

and its high-level of involvement and maximum responsiveness.

Thus in 2019, the French Army will again benefit from SWORD,

enabling it to offer its regiments – following in the footsteps of the

already equipped and operational divisional and brigade levels of

command – modern and high-performing tools to train colonels

and headquarter staff, thereby rationalizing their simulation tools

and offering demanding, large-scale drills, while minimizing costs.

By the same token, MASA plays an integral role in the

operational capacity of the French land-air sector. ”

DIRECT AI

Based on our patented and proven technology, Direct AI is an AI engine which allows developers to design and deploy smart behaviors into any environment.

Originally developed as the AI engine of SWORD, growing

demand for MASA’s AI software has led to its introduction

as an independent product with the unique capability to

be integrated with other products and applications.

Direct AI allows modelling, design, and development of rich

behaviors through AI software agents that think and act, with

any degree of autonomy, within a software environment.

Direct AI comes equipped with a modeling language, runtime,

and a complete set of tools (editors, debugger, and profiler).

Its two-level AI language allows non-programmers

to compose existing behaviors easily.
