7. Expert Opinion
7.1 MASA Group
MASA Group is a global company focused on the development of Artificial Intelligence-based
Modelling & Simulation software for the Defence, Public Safety, Healthcare and Game
Development Markets. Their SWORD and LIFE products are of particular interest to the Military
Simulation and Virtual Training market.
Visiongain would like to thank Mr Juan Pablo Torres, CEO MASA Group, and Ms Amandine
Pinget, Marketing and Communications Manager MASA Group, for their time and assistance in this
research.
7.1.1 Recent Changes for MASA
Visiongain: Could you comment on the current state of MASA and the recent changes the
company has undergone?
Juan Pablo Torres (JPT): Over the past 4 years the company has implemented an accelerated
growth strategy. The growth plan had a strategic purpose to diversify the activities of the company
along three main axes:
1) Transform the company from a services only company to a more balanced software editor.
Previously MASA was only a services company working on a specific system for one
specific customer in one specific country, as opposed to developing and editing products.
We went from taking around 10% of our revenue in licences 5 years ago to over 50%
today with our goal of 66% almost realised.
2) Geographical diversification was also a very important avenue to pursue. Until very
recently, MASA was only really working in France, with the French Army being the
predominant customer. At the time we were working only on the SCIPIO programme for
the French Army. Today MASA is selling to around 15 countries; we have expanded from
1 country to 15 in 3 ½ years. This is extremely encouraging for us, especially given the
short sale cycle time for the industry.
3) The third element is to move to a multi-sector business approach. We now work in sectors
such as public safety, and gaming or serious gaming. The video game sector and military
sector technology are particularly interrelated, which puts us in a strong position to enter
the market of game-related applications (including the use of game technologies for
purposes other than developing video games).

8.1.2 Airbus Group Reorganises in bid to Increase Profits
As part of a major reorganisation of the company, the entity formerly known as EADS is now
working under the title Airbus Group. Cassidian and Astrium have merged and will now be known
as Airbus Defence and Space. While Eurocopter, will now be known as Airbus Helicopters. This
reorganisation was undertaken with the aim to boost profit margins, utilise the globally recognised
Airbus brand and to streamline defence operations in a bid to increase profits by 10%. As reported
in December 2013, the reorganisation has recently resulted in the loss of 5,800 jobs. The
consolidation effort is focussed upon sites in France, Germany, UK and Spain and is expected to
take place over a period of three years.
In relation to the military simulation, modelling and virtual training market, Airbus Defence and
Space provide a wide range of systems and solutions which build on their expertise as a platform
developer. Full Flight simulators, alongside tactical and sensor trainers are key elements of the
airbus portfolio. In December 2013 it was announced that the German military would receive the
first of 53 ordered A400m airlifter from Airbus Defence and Space in mid-2015. Simulation systems
associated with the A400m are expected for delivery before 2015.

2013, Cassidian Optronics announced that it had opened a subsidiary in Brazil. Optronbras Ltda in
