SWORD is a COTS (Commercially-available Off The Shelf) automated, aggregated, constructive simulation software designed to help users develop and deploy advanced and highly realistic scenarios, in particular for the training of decision-makers in command posts and crisis centers, and for the analysis of military doctrines and emergency procedures.

Enrico Raue, New Markets Development & Sales Manager at MASA Group, declared: “MASA has identified a particularly great potential for SWORD in the Middle East and North Africa region. Currently, the MENA countries are exhibiting a growing need of preparation and training for Operations Other Than War (OOTW), tactical and logistics missions, and protection of civilian populations. SWORD coincides directly with this need by offering such countries the tools they will need to stay prepared.”
