Cubic Global Defense continues to support
Canadian Army with key upgrade of communication architecture
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced it was awarded a contract worth
approximately $4.5 million ($6 million CDN) from the Government of
Canada to upgrade National Defence’s Data Communications Network
(DCN) and Exercise Control Centre (EXCON) for the Canadian Weapons
Effect Simulation (CWES) system, in Wainwright, Alberta, Canada.
Under the contract, Cubic will upgrade hardware and software
associated with the DCN and EXCON, including replacement of the
existing network and EXCON hardware. EXCON software will also be
upgraded using the latest release of CATS Metrix software enhanced
under the Urban Operations Training System (UOTS).
The CWES system, used by the Canadian Army at the Canadian
Manoeuvre Training Centre (CMTC) in Wainwright, permits
force-on-force training in a manner that provides realistic
simulation for the engagement effects of Direct-Fire WES and Area
WES weapons. The current DCN and EXCON used at CMTC are obsolete
and will be replaced with the upgraded system that aligns with new
capabilities introduced under the UOTS project.
“The Cubic-led modernization of the Wainwright DCN/EXCON will
ensure that a robust communication architecture is put in place to
support current and future simulation training requirements at
Canada’s premiere training facility,” said Dave Buss, president of
Cubic Global Defense. “The overall live simulation training
experience will be greatly enhanced, enabling performance-based
training to meet the Canadian Armed Forces’ operational readiness
standards now and into the future.”
Cubic anticipates completing all hardware and software upgrades
by May 2018 to support Exercise Maple Resolve 2018, the Canadian
Army’s largest and most complex training event of the year.
