MASA releases Sword version 6.0
MASA has released version 6.0 of its Sword automated wargame solution for training, analysis and planning, upgraded with new capabilities, the company announced on 12 February.
MASA Sword is a popular automated wargame solution for training and decision support.
Enrico Raue, new markets and sales manager, MASA, said: 'The introduction of SWORD version 6.0 brings our customers a range of significant enhancements.
'Some of the enhancements in Sword version 6.0 include multiple-views graphical user interface and advanced after action review capabilities, both of which enable an improved efficiency of the system to reduce operator training time and workload even further.'
Another new addition to this version is the capability of offering multiple sub-views, allowing users to create multiple windows of a simulated scenario and display them simultaneously. Each sub-view is independently customisable, such as focusing on a specific unit or view for each simulated side.
The advanced after action capability also now includes an 'edit' tool to select sequences of interest and create a more focused exercise representation. Also, the Sword timeline has been upgraded with additional filters and new event types. These additions, together with the new editing tool, can be used to create a dynamic replay of relevant events.
