Who We Are
Cubic Defense Applications, a major segment of San Diegobased
Cubic Corporation, is a world’s leading provider of live combat
training systems and virtual small arms trainers. The corporation has
two primary business areas, Defense and Transportation, which are
both No. 1 in their core markets. In total, Cubic has approximately
7,300 employees at 130 locations worldwide.
In addition to combat training systems, Cubic’s defense segment
provides mission support services, computer-assisted training,
educational technologies, tactical data links, specialty avionics and
electro-optics. The defense segment supplies products, systems and
services to U.S. and allied forces in 50 allied nations.
What We Do
Cubic’s combat training systems allow soldiers and pilots to train
as they fight – to experience the “fog of war” with their individual
weapons, tanks and aircraft without the use of live ammunition.
The systems replicate actual combat environments and weapons’
performance, giving troops the individual and collective skills they
need to survive.
Cubic designs, installs and sustains instrumented range systems
for attack and fighter aircraft, armored vehicles and infantry forceon-force
live training. We provide everything from real-time tracking
and weapons effects simulations to laser engagement simulation
systems and advanced precision gunnery solutions.
The live training systems accurately simulate weapons effects
and the tactical actions of combat pilots and soldiers. They provide
objective feedback for aircrew debriefs and After Action Reviews
(AARs).
Cubic’s systems support all levels of training – including urban
operations, single service, joint, combined and multinational
missions – from squad through brigade-level training and aviation air
groups.
The company provides high-fidelity training simulation for any
size mission, ranging from instrumentation systems at the world’s
largest Combat Training Centers (CTCs) to mobile systems for
deployed and homestation training.
In the area of virtual simulation, Cubic is providing the U.S.
Army’s No. 1 virtual small arms training system, the Engagement
Skills Trainer, or EST 2000. This projection-based system teaches
marksmanship skills, squadron-level collective defense training and
judgmental use of force.

Air Combat Training Systems..........................................................................................................................................................................................
As the leading provider of Air Combat Training Systems, Cubic
has installed/delivered more than 60 Air Combat Maneuvering
Instrumentation (ACMI) systems around the world.
The ACMI systems feature air-to-air, air-to-ground, and groundto-air
weapons simulation; real-time monitoring capabilities;
calculation of the aircraft’s position; and post-mission debriefs to
capitalize on “lessons learned.”
Our fourth and fifth generation ACMI systems provide
rangeless/autonomous ACMI training that allow pilots to train in
any available airspace without a fixed infrastructure. The training
exercise can be monitored on the ground in real time for added
fidelity and safety.
Major Components
The ACMI systems include two major components – the
airborne instrumentation pod that collects in-flight events and data,
and the ground station that provides real-time exercise control and
post-mission debriefs.
At the heart of the ground system is Cubic’s Individual Combat
Aircrew Display System (ICADS), the most widely deployed
debriefing tool in use by aircrews today.
The other major component, the airborne pod, provides
onboard calculation of aircraft position, weapon “flyouts” and realtime
kill notification to the pilots. The pods record all in-flight events
and data, and also transmit the information to the ground stations.
The pods can be mounted on a wingtip weapon station or packaged
internally.
Cubic’s advanced pods incorporate GPS technology to provide
continuous and precise position tracking of all players. The rangeless
pods operate simultaneously in both the untethered and real-time
monitor mode.
Missile simulations are processed in the pod, with real-time kill
notification provided to pilots via a synthesized voice call. Data is also
transmitted to a ground monitoring station.
Simulated Views
Our ICADS debrief software provides realistic 2-D and 3-D views
of the simulated battle on desktop or laptop computers. The system
allows range training officers to communicate with pilots in real time,
control simulated threats and record the data for aircrew debriefs.
Our ACMI systems support individual pilot debriefs at their
squadrons or at theaters for mass debriefings.
ICADS is interoperable with various types of ACMI pod
configurations. The system features a user-friendly interface and
incorporates commercial off-the-shelf components to keep costs low
and reliability high.
Turnkey ACMI Systems
Cubic provides full-service ACMI systems and components
to forces around the world, including Canada, Australia, the
UK, Netherlands, Taiwan, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Egypt,
Singapore and Japan.
Cubic also oversees all aspects of the U.S. Air Force’s Misawa-
Osan-Kunsan-Kadena Instrumentation Training System, or MOKKITS,
which supports training for the U.S. Pacific Air Forces and coalition
partners throughout Asia.
Next-Generation P5 CTS/TCTS

MILES Laser-Based Systems
Cubic’s laser-based MILES products are field hardened, highly
qualified and widely praised. MILES is fully compatible with CTC
instrumentation systems, deployable/homestation systems, and
urban operations training systems.
Available in a variety of configurations around the world, Cubic’s
MILES products accurately replicate the weapons’ ballistics and
performance, and provide casualty status of the trainees. MILES
allows troops to fire infrared “bullets” from the same weapons and
vehicles that they use in actual combat.
Eye-safe laser transmitters and detectors are attached to the
soldiers’ weapons, helmets, training harnesses and tactical vehicles.
When the “laser” bullets are fired, the MILES detector system
indicates if they “hit,” “missed” or “killed” their opponents. The
individual weapons fire blank ammunition and simulate realistic
smoke and blast effects.
Cubic’s MILES products are currently in use by the U.S. Army,
U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, the
Department of Energy and independent power plants. Additionally,
MILES has been fielded internationally to major Combat Training
Centers in the UK, Canada, Australia, Southeast Asia and the Middle
East. Cubic also provides MILES equipment under numerous FMS
contracts, including Croatia, Kuwait, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania,
Ukraine, Latvia and Georgia.
