Cubic Global Defense among Warfighter Readiness
Research Division Contractor Team selected to research and develop
new training methodologies
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced it is part of the Warfighter Readiness
Research Division Contractor Team awarded a five-year,
cost-plus-fixed-fee $200 million contract by the U.S. Air Force
Research Laboratory (AFRL) for research and evaluation of
warfighter readiness and training. The team, led by L-3
Communications Corporation’s Simulation & Training Division,
consists of CGD, Ball Aerospace and Leidos.
Under the contract, CGD and other defense industry experts will
develop technology to create wide-spectrum readiness capabilities
that are architecture, network and domain agnostic. The team will
also create and validate an interoperable, secure training toolset
to increase training fidelity; enable comprehensive cross-mission,
performance-based debriefs; and reduce training/exercise overhead
for the U.S. Air Force.
“We look forward to working with AFRL researchers and our
industry partners within the Warfighter Readiness Research Division
Contractor Team to find and deliver the knowledge and skills our
warfighters need to dominate their operating environment,” said
Bill Toti, president of Cubic Global Defense. “As part of our
NextTraining strategy, Cubic is focused on raising mission
readiness and optimizing human performance for our customers to
enable the most effective and efficient training methods.”
Work under this award will be performed at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base, Ohio, and is expected to be complete by January
2023.
