Cubic Global Defense to help increase gunnery
proficiency with simulated trainers
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced an award of $13.9 million from Oasis
Advanced Engineering (OASIS) to produce and deliver Crewstation
Subsystems in support of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) Conduct
of Fire Trainer (COFT). The COFT enables the BFV unit to perform
critical skills required in combat and designed for gunnery
proficiency. OASIS is the prime contractor for this program to
support the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation,
Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI).
Cubic received a base contract of $4.18 million to produce and
deliver nine Mobile and four Institutional Crewstation Subsystems
with associated spares. Cubic also received an option award of
$9.74 million where Cubic will deliver an additional 21 Mobile and
10 Institutional Crewstation Subsystems with associated spares, for
a total of 44 systems at nearly $14 million to be delivered
worldwide. Base and option awards provide both Cubic and customer
continuous deployment of systems starting from April 2017 to March
2018.
“The Bradley trainers are part of an ongoing effort by the U.S.
Army to improve training and reduce friendly fire causalities by
focusing on simulated combat scenarios and mission readiness,” said
Dave Buss, president of Cubic Global Defense. “Cubic looks forward
to continuing our successful partnership with OASIS and delivering
enhanced gunnery proficiency training capabilities to the U.S. Army
PEO STRI.”
The COFT is a dual-configuration, virtual simulation system that
replicates the Bradley M2/A2 Operation Desert Storm-Situational
Awareness (ODS-SA) and the Bradley M2/A3 ODS vehicles. It functions
in a synthetic environment and is used by an instructor to train
and sustain the Bradley Gunner and Commander critical gunnery
skills required for direct fire engagements.
