SAN DIEGO, Aug. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cubic Global
Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB),
today announced that Cubic Defence Australia has been selected as
the primary contractor for the development and delivery of local
and distributed simulation-enabled training events for the Royal
Australian Navy (RAN). The four-year contract, valued at
approximately USD $7.11 million or
AUD $9 million, provides a wide range
of simulation planning, technical support and professional
interactors to enhance RAN's multisite synthetic training events at
the Navy Synthetic Warfighting Centre (NSWC).
The NSWC was recently established at the HMAS Watson Naval Base
on Sydney Harbour. The NSWC will
facilitate synthetic training events and focus on delivering local
and distributed mission training activities in both land-based
simulators and ships in an agile manner.
"We are proud to partner with the RAN in the ongoing development
of the Navy Synthetic Warfighting Centre," said Miles Macdonald, general manager Cubic Defence
Australia. "We look forward to leveraging the expertise of
our Australian simulation team and the best practices of our
various global programs to aid the RAN in achieving world-leading
capabilities for simulation-enabled individual and collective
training."
Cubic's solutions and services are designed to further enhance
warfighting capabilities and improve training for RAN crews and
ships throughout their evolution cycle. In addition, Cubic's
contract will increase the potential of live, virtual and
constructive training integration across the RAN. Supporting both
individual and collective training, Cubic will design and deliver
synthetic training events and networks involving a combination of
dedicated simulators, which will be distributed to naval
vessels.
In addition to its partnership with the RAN, Cubic is the
incumbent Simulation Support Service contractor for the Australian
Defence Simulation and Training Centre (ADSTC), which supports
joint collective training. Cubic also provides training as well as
simulation systems and services to the Australian Army and the
Royal Australian Air Force.
