Cubic Mission and Performance Solutions to
support technical maturation of Synthetic Inject to Live
capabilities for Navy programs of record
Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced its Cubic Mission
and Performance Solutions (CMPS) business division was awarded an
$8.5 million task order under the Naval Air Systems Command
(NAVAIR) basic ordering agreement to continue the maturation of the
Secure Live Virtual and Constructive Advanced Training Environment
(SLATE) core enabling technologies for F/A-18 and EA-18G Program
Office (PMA-265).
After the highly successful Advanced Technology Demonstration
(ATD) in September 2018 that validated full Synthetic Inject to
Live (SITL) LVC technologies, NAVAIR awarded Cubic a task order to
further mature the system’s capabilities and reduce risk in
transitioning SITL-LVC to the Fleet. The work will be performed
supporting the Advanced LVC IPT team to prepare the system for
demonstration of advanced guising and replication of the near-peer
threat using Live F/A-18 Super Hornets and Virtual F-35
participants conducting advanced fighter integration tactics.
“Our success with the ATD proved that a blended LVC training
environment solution is mature and a critical enabler for the most
realistic training scenarios needed to prepare our operators for
the near peer threat,” said Mike Knowles, president of Cubic
Mission and Performance Solutions. “This next task order to advance
these essential technologies, further positions us as a market
leader in interoperable LVC Air Combat Training capabilities. This
work and preparation for a follow-on demonstration will enable a
broader audience of warfighters to observe firsthand the
capabilities that can be fielded today.”
The work being performed builds on the success of the SLATE-ATD
and further reduces risk for the Services to deliver SITL LVC
capability rapidly to the Fleet. The SLATE ATD is the only solution
that has been demonstrated at a large force exercise scale, in a
joint operational training environment. Additionally, it supports
actual Fleet aircraft operating at multiple security levels,
demonstrating encryption concepts, and cross domain solution LVC
rulesets.
SITL-LVC brings advanced guising and replication of the near
peer threat environment (in both density and capabilities) needed
to close training proficiency gaps for Fleet aircrew. This task
order adds the Navy’s Next Generation Threat System (NGTS)
constructive force generator and includes integration of Virtual
F-35 participants expanding upon capabilities demonstrated in
September 2018.
