About three years after the initialcontract had been signed, MASA has signed a new contract with the BangladeshArmy to provide ongoing complete maintenance of the customized version of SWORDto the Army War Game Center (AWGC) with software upgrades and support inexercises and training until 2023.

The AWGCchose SWORD for command post trainingfrom Battalion- to Division-level. The software enables the Army to immerse itstraining audience in different types of military and civil emergency scenarios.SWORD can simulate and control tens of thousands of soldiers and units.
Picked for its extensive customization opportunities, thesimulation was adapted in less than a year to reflect specific requirementsincluding the Army's doctrine, equipment and supplies as well as itsoperational terrain.Now called the Army War Game Simulation System (AWGSS) by the ARTDOC, thesoftware has been successfully used for two years for a great number ofexercises including military and disaster relief training.
