SAN DIEGO, Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic
Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic Global
Defense (CGD) business division has received four additional
delivery orders totaling $22 million,
from an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, to
support the U.S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) with the
creation and delivery of immersive game-based courseware. Cubic's
Orlando, Florida operations will
be responsible for the development efforts of the Immersive Virtual
Shipboard Environment (IVSE) for LCS, which is considered to be in
direct alignment with U.S. Navy's Ready Relevant Learning
initiative.
Cubic's IVSE is an advanced learning product for the LCS
training program that puts trainees in a photo-realistic, 3-D
environment to teach various tasks in settings that are virtually
identical to real-life scenarios. The additional orders received as
part of Cubic's IDIQ will add new functionality and virtual content
to the current LCS virtual training environment.
"We are pleased with receiving additional awards for the
development of cutting-edge training and learning products for the
U.S. Navy," said Dave Buss,
president of Cubic Global Defense. "In traditional development,
engineers, 3-D artists, subject matter experts and learning
scientists are separate disciplines; however, Cubic fully
integrates learning science and technology to meet our customers'
needs with our unique team structure."
"In order to provide our customers with a perfectly balanced
training product such as our IVSE, we are continuing our
recruitment efforts to add more talented individuals to our
innovative, world-class team here in Orlando," said Ray
Oliver, general manager of Orlando operations.
Listed as the third largest simulation and training company by
the Orlando Business Journal, Cubic is recruiting for a number of
positions including software engineers, instructional designers,
technical producers, 3-D artists and subject matter experts.
Cubic's Orlando operations
includes a studio environment dedicated to the advancement of
game-based training and currently employs more than 250
personnel.
