Cubic Global Defense to exhibit
industry-leading training solutions for improved warfighter
capabilities and mission readiness
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced that Mike Knowles, vice president and
general manager of Air Ranges for CGD, will present on the topic of
future fighter combat training as well as participate in panels
during the 2016 International Fighter Conference (IFC) in London,
United Kingdom from November 15 – 17. Cubic will also showcase its
broad portfolio of advanced solutions that are evolving air combat
training. The IFC brings together senior air force officers from
around the world to meet with industry partners to discuss, share
and debate operational roles, requirements, doctrine and strategic
visions.
During his presentation, Knowles will discuss the concurrency of
the fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft and training capabilities
in addition to emerging live, virtual and constructive (LVC)
environments and its implications to Joint Force training.
“As the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter begins to arrive to our
partner nations, compatibility of air combat training among nations
and interoperability between the fourth- and fifth-generation
aircraft will become integral to better prepare our warfighters,”
said Knowles. “Cubic has made great effort to solve the
interoperability gaps between different generation aircraft and we
look forward to demonstrating our strategy and solutions to evolve
air combat training, from air combat maneuvering instrumentation
(ACMI) to LVC.”
At the event, Knowles will participate in the following speaking
events:
- Delivering Next-Generation Air

Cubic will also present the following enhanced air combat
training solutions:
- Secure LVC Advanced Training
Solutions: As the industry System Integrator for the Air Force
Research Lab’s Secure LVC Advanced Training Environment (SLATE)
Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD), Cubic will support the
development and demonstration of a new secure waveform with
tactical aircraft and range ground stations as part of a LVC system
for air combat training.
- P5 Combat Training System
(CTS/TCTS): P5 CTS relays Time, Space, and Positioning
Information (TSPI) between participating aircraft and range systems
while internally recording weapon events during training sorties.
This air combat training enables real-time, live monitoring and
recorded mission data of air-to-air, air-to-ground and
surface-to-air training scenarios for post-mission analysis.
- Bandit Board: The Cubic Bandit
Board is an integrated low-cost tactical training capability that
transmits the live P5 CTS display onto a kneeboard tablet of a
pilot in an aggressor “Red Air” aircraft. With this innovative
enhancement, “Red Air” now has a high-fidelity, real-time picture
of all players in a combat training exercise, transforming a
second- or third-generation aircraft into a formidable
opponent.
- Cubic’s F-35 Internal Subsystem:
The next-generation Air Combat Training System (ACTS) for the Joint
Strike Fighter is the F-35 P5 Internal Subsystem (IS). This secure
and internal training solution allows the F-35 to retain low
observable characteristics.
- Secure ACMI: The Cubic Miniature
Encryptor (CME) is a miniature encryption solution that is readily
available for the P5 CTS. This low-cost, low-risk, form-fit
addition to legacy P5 pods and training range ground stations
provides increased security for advanced air combat training and
encryption compatibility with the F-35 P5 Internal Subsystem.
