Market position
MASA Group is a leading provider of advanced software solutions using Artificial Intelligence technologies for modelling and simulation. By leveraging technology and open standards, MASA software brings together exercises preparation, behavior modeling, command staff training, crisis management simulation, after-action review, doctrine and equipment analysis, in the most cost-effective way. Rapid implementation, high fidelity, reusability and ease of use are the specification of MASA COTS. The group operates out of Paris (France), Norfolk (Virginia, USA) and Singapore.

Current position and outlook
MASA is working to extend its software range, from both a sector and geography point of view . Its command post training and crisis management software is already used by the French military (Scipio system developed in cooperation with Thales) but has also been marketed to other armed forces, in Europe and North America.  Its crisis management training solution for emergency and security services is being adapted for several customer segments (fire departments, local authorities dealing with terrorist actions or natural disasters).
