Eurosatory 2018: MASA and Pitch jointly launching new innovative training solution.

Masa Group and Pitch Technologies, two specialists in COTS simulation products, join forces to launch an integrated solution for constructive training. It is based on their respective products, the MASA Group SWORD and Pitch Technologies´ Pitch Talk, Pitch Recorder and Pitch pRTI. This integrated solution, offers users, a constructive simulation, a communications simulation with voice and text, as well as a fully synchronized after action review capability.

MASA SWORD is a complete wargame solution with automated forces powered by Artificial Intelligence for high-level training and analysis. Developed in close relation with armies worldwide, SWORD is a cost-efficient constructive simulation focused on user needs. SWORD immerses brigade and division command post staff in large¬scale conflicts, stabilization operations, terrorist threats or natural disasters, providing a broader and more complete training solution that ultimately improves their decision¬-making capabilities.

Pitch Talk is a new communications framework to support distributed simulation. It covers a wide range of applications, from pilot and crew to theater-level command and control training. Pitch Talk enables high-fidelity simulation with unlimited channels of radio, intercom, audio and chat, making it easy to design, centrally manage and deploy exercises. Pitch Talk includes an effects server architecture for realistic radio and audio effects based on VBS3 terrain and other factors.

Pitch Talk is built on Pitch’s superior infrastructure and based on decades of leading edge interoperability R&D. Pitch Talk provides a wide range of integration opportunities, including customizable radio panels, embeddable communications interfaces and both HLA and DIS interoperability.
