Cubic Mission and Performance Solutions to
support Royal Air Force training and Royal Navy Carrier Strike
Group training exercise
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic Mission
and Performance Solutions (CMPS) business division was awarded a
contract to deliver a P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) ground
subsystem with live monitoring to support Royal Air Force (RAF)
training and a Royal Navy (RN) Carrier Strike Group (CSG) exercise,
taking place in the United Kingdom this fall.
“Used in more than 30 ranges worldwide, our advanced and
interoperable P5CTS sets the standard for joint, multiservice and
coalition training,” said Jonas Furukrona, vice president and
general manager of LVC Training, Cubic Mission and Performance
Solutions. “We look forward to providing additional training
capability via our P5 ground subsystem for the Royal Navy and Royal
Air Force F-35 training.”
P5CTS provides 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. All
partner F-35s are equipped with the P5 Internal Subsystem (IS),
that provides encrypted Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation
(ACMI) for coalition military forces to train on a common platform.
To date, over 600 F-35 P5 IS have been delivered to Lockheed
Martin, with the majority of those currently installed and flying
on U.S. and partner F-35s.
A key component of the P5CTS, Cubic’s P5CTS ground subsystem is
the first to be exported for training for the F-35, allowing
multiple range service providers the ability to integrate the RN
and RAF F-35 into its range training systems. The P5CTS ground
subsystem enables the live monitoring and management of P5-equipped
aircraft with a single ground station and remote range unit. These
ground stations can be upgraded with an encryption module for the
live monitoring of F-35s carrying P5 IS. The P5 ground station
upgrade, referred to as Block 4A in the U.S., has been installed at
six U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy bases. The Block 4A fielding plan
currently includes an additional 18 encryption modules (EM) for the
U.S. Air Force and 15 EMs for the U.S. Navy for training range
upgrades.
The ground subsystem is a foundational element for air combat
training exercises as it will enable combined training for
squadrons from the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and U.K. partner
nations. It incorporates the Individual Combat Aircrew Display
System (ICADS), which supports individual pilot debriefs at
homestations or mass debriefings in theater environments. The
ground subsystem will be installed by Cubic at the MOD Hebrides
Range and will add another training range to P5CTS’ global
network.
