Inflatable antennas help Cubic Global Defense<br />
serve military, Middle East markets<br />
<strong>May</strong> was a productive month for<br />
Cubic Global Defense.<br />
The company started off the month<br />
showcasing some of the C4ISR<br />
technology it acquired through the<br />
recent purchases of DTECH Labs,<br />
GATR Technologies and TeraLogics<br />
at the biennial Special Operations<br />
Forces Exhibition and Conference<br />
in Jordan. C4ISR stands for Command,<br />
Control, Communications,<br />
Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance<br />
and Reconnaissance.<br />
Among the products and solutions<br />
marketed at SOFEX included<br />
a mobile Internet solution featuring<br />
end-to-end full motion video and<br />
satellite communications management<br />
that works with essentially<br />
every combat net radio system.<br />
GATR’s portable antenna works as<br />
effectively as its more rigid counterparts,<br />
but at a mere fraction of<br />
the weight. The 85 percent weight<br />
reduction gives it an edge over its<br />
competitors in the government and<br />
commercial markets.<br />
It’s all a part of the company’s<br />
“training to tactical” strategy to<br />
serve its Middle East market, said<br />
John Naff, who serves as the general<br />
manager for Cubic Defense Saudi<br />
Arabia and as the business development<br />
vice president for Cubic Global<br />
Defense.<br />
“These comprehensive capabilities<br />
will provide enhanced flexibility<br />
for not only ground and air training<br />
systems, but also tactical communi-<br />
