system is equipped with advanced security features, real-time
air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons simulations and live
monitoring functions
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic Global
Defense (CGD) business division was contracted by BAE Systems to
deliver the P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) as part of a
Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft delivery to an international customer.
The order includes P5CTS airborne subsystems (pods), associated
ground subsystems and logistics support. Cubic’s P5CTS provides
high-fidelity, live mission training capabilities for advanced
weapons and tactics training. The P5CTS enhances U.S. and coalition
air combat training and allows warfighters to train as they
fight.
“We are very excited to build upon our long relationship with
BAE and ensure the P5CTS remains a significant part of Typhoon
training capabilities,” said Jonas Furukrona, vice president and
general manager of air training solutions, Cubic Global Defense.
“P5CTS empowers Air Forces to conduct high-fidelity, live and
interoperable training across their fleet of combat aircraft so
that maximum readiness is attained from each flying hour. Our
system sets the standard for joint and coalition training by
enabling exercises from unit level to joint, large force
exercises.”
“Cubic and our partner Leonardo DRS are working closely with
international aircraft manufacturers like BAE to integrate and
deliver the P5CTS and this order further sustains P5CTS viability
through the Typhoon life cycle,” added Furukrona.
Training for today’s advanced threats to air combat operations
requires adaptable, high-fidelity training tools. The P5CTS is
designed to provide secure, tailorable and scalable instrumentation
solutions that best support warfighter needs in air-to-air,
air-to-ground and surface-to-air combat training missions.
This globally fielded system enhances real-time and post-mission
training by displaying the live-air picture, recording mission
data, adjudicating weapons engagements and relaying Time, Space and
Positioning Information (TSPI) between participating aircraft
during training sorties. Key components of the system include
secure, GPS-enabled, aircraft-mounted airborne instrumentation
“pods” plus ground stations, which help aircrew conduct, monitor
and control air combat training and post-flight debriefing.
