Cubic Global Defense to demonstrate
next-generation “Top Gun” innovations to support mission
readiness
Cubic Global Defense, a business division of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB), today announced it will highlight
advanced air combat training systems that bridge the gap between
current training and next-generation live, virtual and constructive
(LVC) training at the International Paris Air Show from June 19–25
at the Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France. The International Paris
Air Show is the largest and longest-running aerospace trade show in
the world, bringing together key players in the industry for a
weeklong event consisting of the latest technological innovations,
product demonstrations and commercial opportunities.
“For more than four decades, Cubic has been the market leader in
air combat training systems for the United States and its allied
nations,” said Dave Buss, president of Cubic Global Defense.
“Aircrew continue to rely on our airborne and ground subsystems for
complete mission readiness to effectively train for air combat
missions with less risk. We look forward to sharing with the
aerospace community our performance-based capabilities and
NextTraining strategy, which meet the demanding requirements of our
customers.”
“Cubic invented Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation in the
early 1970s and LVC is the natural evolution for air combat
training,” said Mike Knowles, vice president and general manager of
Air Ranges, Cubic Global Defense. “Airborne LVC provides an
increased threat density, wider expanse of virtual airspace and an
interoperable multilevel secure environment where pilots can ‘train
as they fight’ in the highest fidelity environments.”
Cubic Global Defense will exhibit the following solutions at the
Le Bourget Airport in Trade Show Hall #3, booth #3-B158:
- P5 Combat Training System
(CTS/TCTS): Cubic’s P5CTS provides real-time and post-mission
training for air-to-air, air-to-ground and surface-to-air combat
missions by displaying the live-air picture, recording mission data
and relaying Time, Space and Positioning Information (TSPI) between
participating aircraft during training sorties. Key components of
the system include GPS-enabled, aircraft-mounted airborne
instrumentation “pods” plus ground stations, which help aircrew
conduct, monitor and manage air combat training and post-flight
debriefing.
- Secure Air Combat Maneuvering
Instrumentation (ACMI): The Cubic Miniature Encryptor (CME) is
a mature, low-cost, low-risk, form-fit encryption solution readily
available to provide increased security for the P5CTS pod and
ground station. The CME is also designed to be interoperable with
the JSF P5 Internal Subsystem, thereby enhancing
fourth/fifth-generation air combat training.
- LVC Training: Cubic is the
industry system integrator for the Air Force Research Lab’s Secure
LVC Advanced Training Environment (SLATE) and Advanced Technology
Demonstration (ATD). The SLATE ATD uses fourth-generation aircraft
with a multi-level encrypted ACMI waveform and airborne
subsystems, in both tethered and untethered LVC training
scenarios.
- Synthetic Training Environment
(STE): Cubic’s Tactical Engagement System and LVC simulation
delivers a deployable and scalable combined arms mission training
capability back into the hands of the unit commander. Calling for
fire and delivery of effects from the air is seamlessly integrated
into simulation training by overlaying instrumented live training
with representative virtual systems to meet complex training
objectives for the Tactical Air Control Party (TACP), Joint
Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) and Joint Fires Observers
(JFO).
- Bandit Board: The Bandit Board
is an integrated low-cost tactical training capability that
transmits the live P5CTS picture onto an aggressor pilot’s
electronic kneeboard. It delivers a synthetic sensor capability
that provides the aggressor pilot a 360-degree display of all P5CTS
mission participants. This innovative, effective capability
transforms a second- or third-generation aircraft into a formidable
opponent during air combat training, while supporting enhanced
situational awareness, safety and the precise execution of desired
training scenarios.
- Individual Combat Aircrew Display
System (ICADS®): Cubic’s ICADS is an advanced
Windows-based aircrew combat display and debrief software system
that is operated by multiple air forces worldwide. The system
supports individual pilot, squadron-level or mass, live and
debriefing operations. ICADS is also highly portable and operates
with air combat training systems on a fixed range or in the
range-less/autonomous mode. Utilizing ICADS and the P5CTS Live
Monitor capability, Range Training Officers can reduce risk,
coordinate with pilots in real time, manage training objectives,
control simulated threats and record data for playback at aircrew
debriefs.
