PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

At Eurosatory, MASA Group (Hall 5, Booth #J108), 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, announces that the Centro de Entrenamiento Operativo Tctico Simulado (CEOTAS, or Center for Simulated Tactical Operational Training) of the Ecuadorian Army will start using 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.

The CEOTAS is a technological resource that is being used as an instrument of studies for basic and advanced courses by the students of the Ecuadorian Army headquarters. Its aim is that the academies of war of the Ecuadorian armed forces use it for their improvement processes, and ultimately as a support tool in scientific and technological environments for public safety and national defense.

We selected SWORD because this is a cost-effective off-the-shelf aggregated constructive simulation that we can immediately apply to the training of our commanding officers for military missions as well as global safety missions, Colonel Pablo Carrillo, CEOTAS Project Manager, Ecuadorian Army, declared.

We are particularly proud that MASA SWORD has been selected by the Ecuadorian Army. This decision shows the growing momentum enjoyed by SWORD in Latin America, commented Juan-Pablo Torres, MASA Groups President and CEO. This new customer adoption illustrates how SWORD can be used by progressive and cost-conscious military organizations on a global basis for trainings related to military missions and to Operations Other Than War.

The deployment of SWORD at CEOTAS will be performed starting this month by Latinmedia International LLC, one of MASAs value added resellers in Latin America, and a regional leader in the areas of simulation and visualization in real time. This deployment is the first phase of a long-term project that implies a large-scale deployment to take place in the coming months.
