Cubic Global Defense provides next-generation
tactical engagement simulation system for realistic training
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced an award of more than $10 million for
new orders of its Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser
Engagement System Individual Weapon Systems 2 (I-MILES IWS 2) from
the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training
and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) and Army Contracting Command-Orlando
(ACC-ORL). I-MILES IWS 2 is a laser-based simulation system that is
integral to the quality and realism of live, force-on-force
training for the warfighters. The systems are delivered to all U.S.
Army home-stations and are important tools for building mission
readiness – the Army’s No. 1 priority.
I-MILES IWS 2 transmits laser messages when triggered by blank
ammunition fired by a military weapon. Body sensors detect hits and
perform real-time casualty assessments to replicate the effects of
combat. The data is recorded for later review and assessment of
effectiveness. The user-friendly system features small, lightweight
components for individual soldiers, and requires less time to
attach the Small Arms Transmitters and align to the weapon than
previous versions. It also maintains position during an entire
exercise.
“Cubic’s I-MILES IWS 2 continues to provide invaluable training
by combining realistic environments and equipment to ensure combat
readiness for every mission scenario,” said Dave Buss, president of
Cubic Global Defense. “The live, force-on-force training capability
of the I-MILES IWS 2, used not only by the U.S. but also allied and
partner nations, is the cornerstone of training and building ready
ground forces.”
Cubic’s I-MILES product line keeps pace with advancements in
technology, as they are flexible, upgradeable and interoperable
through the use of open standards and non-proprietary interfaces.
The laser engagement simulation system is delivered with the
ability to add range instrumentation solutions to support real-time
tracking, recording and controlling all battlefield entities as
well as playback of exercise results.
