Cubic Mission Solutions partners with USAF to
enable Joint Aerial Layer Network
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic Mission
Solutions (CMS) business division was awarded a contract worth $38
million to deliver a Joint Aerial Layer Network (JALN) High
Capacity Backbone (HCB) prototype for the U.S. Air Force (USAF).
The HCB is a critical element of the JALN, designed to maintain
network connectivity among joint forces across the aerial layer.
Cubic’s offering for USAF will consist of integrated capabilities
across its Protected Communications and Command and Control,
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR)
portfolios.
“Cubic’s selection by the USAF is a testament to our team and
partners’ continuous pursuit to build this critical warfighting
network prototype,” said Mike Twyman, president of Cubic Mission
Solutions. “Our innovations address aerial layer networking needs
to ensure agile and resilient communications; we are honored USAF
trusts in us to build a critical enabler for Joint All-Domain
Command and Control (JADC2) capability.”
Cubic will deliver a high-capacity, extended range,
self-organizing and self-healing JALN HCB that connects warfighters
to a mission-optimized network of networks in satellite
communications-challenged environments. Cubic’s solution will
ensure network availability and resiliency in all environments,
accelerate data delivery for increased decision speed and support
advanced warfighting concepts.
“We are inspired by this opportunity to bring Cubic innovation
into the JALN,” said Marja Phipps, director of business
development, Cubic Mission Solutions. “Over the last decade, Cubic
has partnered with government stakeholders and invested
significantly in the development of assured network connectivity
solutions. Our team is eager to deliver HCB operational utility to
the joint warfighter.”
Cubic’s partners for HCB include Raytheon BBN and Expeditionary
Engineering, who will provide advanced aerial networking technology
and expertise.
