SAN DIEGO, Sept. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic Global
Defense, a business division of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB),
today announced it received a Red 'Best Programs' Ribbon in
training and simulation from the 2017 Industry Simulation &
Training Awards. Currently in its 16th year, the
Industry Simulation & Training Awards is hosted by Military
Simulation & Training (MS&T) magazine and recognizes
companies that have made a significant impact in the military
training community.
The Red 'Best Programs' Ribbon denotes a company spearheading a
program that currently revolutionizes training. Cubic received the
ribbon for its Immersive Virtual Shipboard Environment (IVSE),

The IVSE leverages 'learning science,' gaming technology and game
design to produce a virtual product for optimized learning. Cubic's
IVSE transforms training by immersing trainees in 3-D virtual
environments, teaching tasks in settings virtually identical to
real life.
"Cubic is honored to be recognized as a top simulation and
training company in the defense industry and given the Red 'Best
Programs' Ribbon by MS&T this year," said Dave Buss, president of Cubic Global Defense.
"We have a very talented team dedicated to the advancement of
game-based training and this recognition is a true testament to our
passion for delivering innovative training and learning solutions
that enhance the mission readiness of our military customers."

game-based training solutions for the U.S. military and allied

the simulation industry across an array of technologies.
This year's awardees were selected by a panel of judges
consisting of MS&T's experienced editorial board and
were chosen based on information provided from an industry survey.
