SAN DIEGO, July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB) today announced its Cubic Global Defense
(CGD) business division will be highlighting its advanced air
combat training systems and live, virtual and constructive (LVC)
integrated training capabilities at the biennial Farnborough
International Airshow, taking place from July 16-22 in Farnborough, United Kingdom. The Farnborough Airshow is
recognized as one of the world's largest showcases for the
aerospace industry with a diverse range of exhibitors from space,
civil, defense, manufacturing technology, rotary as well as
maintenance, repair and overhaul.
"Cubic has revolutionized air combat training since the 1970's
with our Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) systems,"
said Dave Buss, president of Cubic
Global Defense. "In fact, we provide the encrypted P5 Internal
Subsystem for the F-35, making the P5 Combat Training System the
only fourth- and fifth-generation interoperable ACMI system flying
in the world today."
"If you look at the growing number of countries with the F-35
along with current P5 users, a
standard is clearly set for joint, multiservice and coalition
training," said Mike Knowles, vice
president and general manager of Air Ranges, Cubic Global Defense.
"The demand for secure high-fidelity training is extremely
important and Cubic continues to innovate to meet this requirement
for aircrews around the globe."
Cubic was the first to develop and fly an encrypted ACMI
solution for both the P5CTS and LVC pod applications, demonstrating
a step-change in ACMI and LVC capability that will revolutionize
how our warfighters train.
Cubic Global Defense will present the following training
solutions at booth #2080 in Hall 2 at the Farnborough International
Exhibition & Conference Centre:
- P5 Tactical Combat Training System (P5CTS): Cubic's
P5CTS is a pod solution that relays Time, Space and Position in
Information (TSPI) between participating aircraft during training
sorties. This air combat training system enables real-time, live
monitoring and recorded mission data of air-to-air, air-to-ground
and surface-to-air training scenarios for post-mission
analysis.
- Individual Combat Aircrew Display System
(ICADS®): ICADS is an advanced Windows-based aircrew
combat display and debrief software system that supports individual
pilot, squadron-level or mass, live and debriefing operations.
ICADS is also highly portable and operates with air combat training
systems on a fixed range or in the range-less/autonomous mode.
- Secure LVC Training: As the industry System Integrator
for the Air Force Research Lab's Secure LVC Advanced Training
Environment (SLATE) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD), Cubic
will support the development and demonstration of a new multi-level
secure system, secure waveform with tactical aircraft and range
ground stations as part of an LVC solution for air combat
training.
- Secure Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation: The
successful completion of a live-flight demonstration of the Cubic
Miniature Encryptor (CME), showcased airborne encryption of the
P5CTS on tactical fighter aircraft. The CME is a miniature
encryption solution that is readily available for the P5CTS. This
low-cost, low-risk, form-fit addition to legacy P5 pods and
training range ground stations provide increased security for
advanced air combat training.
- Bandit Board: Bandit Board is an integrated low-cost
tactical training capability that transmits the live P5CTS display
on a kneeboard tablet of a pilot in an aggressor "Red Air"
aircraft. With this innovative enhancement, "Red Air" now has a
high-fidelity, real-time picture of all players in combat training
exercise, transforming a second-or third-generation aircraft into a
formidable opponent.
- Synthetic Wrap: Cubic's Synthetic Wrap technology
delivers complex field-based, contemporary tactical and command
training through the provision of a coherent blend of instrumented
live and synthetic training at the individual, team and collective
levels. It is distributed through state-of-the-art Cubic Long-Term
Evolution (LTE) networking technology, providing a platform of
enormous bandwidth to carry all the essential components of
integrated Synthetic Wrap.
