Cubic Global Defense to demonstrate the Bandit
Board for enhanced aggressor air combat training for the first time
to the public
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced it will feature how its
industry-leading Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI)
systems combines with other Cubic solutions to bridge the gap
between today’s air combat training and next-generation Live,
Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training at the Farnborough
International Airshow 2016 in the United Kingdom from July 11 – 15.
The bi-annual Farnborough Airshow is recognized as one of the
world’s largest showcases for the aerospace industry with a diverse
range of exhibitors from space, civil, defense, manufacturing
technology, rotary as well as maintenance, repair and overhaul
(MRO).
“Cubic continues to advance our air instrumentation systems to
deliver effective and interoperable training to our customers as we
work with our industry and military partners to achieve
full-spectrum LVC training,” said Dave Buss, president of Cubic
Global Defense. “The air combat training solutions featured at
Farnborough will showcase how Cubic is transforming the current
traditional training methodologies to solve interoperability
deficiencies between the F-35 and different generations of weapon
systems.”
Cubic will feature the following air combat training
solutions:
- F-35 P5 Internal Subsystem: The
next-generation Air Combat Training System (ACTS) for the JSF is
the F-35 P5 Internal Subsystem (IS). Unlike previous wing-mounted
ACTS pods, this secure and internal training solution allows the
F-35 to retain low-observable characteristics while training on
current and planned P5 ranges or in an un-tethered mode.
- Cubic Miniature Encryptor (CME):
Cubic’s CME is a multi-level encryptor developed to solve the
information assurance and training interoperability deficiencies
between fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft. The CME provides a
low-cost, low-risk, form-fit addition to legacy P5 pods and
training range ground stations.
- Bandit Board: The Cubic Bandit
Board is an integrated low-cost tactical training capability that
transmits the live P5 Combat Training System (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.
- P5 Combat Training System
(CTS/TCTS): P5 CTS is the U.S. Department of Defense and
multiple international Air Forces’ aircraft instrumentation
solution that relays Time, Space, and Positioning Information
(TSPI) between participating aircraft and range systems while
internally recording weapon events during training sorties. This
ACTS 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.
- 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.
