Cubic Mission and Performance Solutions
selected by U.S. Army to deliver unparalleled in-flight
coordination of unmanned aircraft systems solutions
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic Mission
and Performance Solutions (CMPS) business division was awarded a
contract worth $7.5 million to develop and flight test prototype
software-defined radios (SDR) for the U.S. Army. The contract is
part of an effort to develop a next-generation datalink waveform
for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and manned-unmanned teaming
(MUM-T). The SDRs will feature an emerging communications waveform,
designed to operate in contested environments.
“Cubic understands the critical need for forward-deployed
warfighter nodes of various types to enable communication in
increasingly contested environments,” said Mike Knowles, president
of Cubic Mission and Performance Solutions. “Our cooperation with
the U.S. Army will embed the most modern and resilient protected
communications capabilities into a deployment-ready form factor to
meet warfighter needs.”
Cubic’s advanced solution will be offered in a package with
optimized size, weight, power and cooling for hosting on several
host platforms including the U.S. Army’s small unmanned aerial
system platforms. Successful flight tests at the end of the
one-year program are expected to inform future waveform
specifications and future related acquisitions.
