Paris Air Show 2015: Cubic Showcases Innovation in Air Combat Training

Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business of Cubic Corporation, exhibits its innovative range of air combat training systems and technologies in Hall 6 Booth A18.

“Cubic’s air combat training systems are essential to aircrew for unit mission readiness. Our systems and technologies provide the highly accurate, secure and reliable tools needed for live training management, engagement adjudication, plus post mission analysis in an extremely challenging environment,” said Bill Toti, President of CGD. “Our ACMI systems set the standard for multi-national air-to-air and air-to-ground training exercises by armed forces around the world. Cubic has delivered more than 75% of all Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) pods in use today.”

Cubic’s line-up of various ACMI systems and technologies include:

• JSF P5 Internal System (JSF P5IS): As part of the F-35 programme, Cubic and principal subcontractor DRS developed the JSF P5IS to provide a state-of-the-art encrypted ACMI capability. It is compatible and interoperable with P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) equipped aircraft and range infrastructures worldwide. The JSF Off board Mission System (OMS) includes the Individual Combat Aircrew Debriefing System (ICADSTM) software for live training management and debriefing.
• P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS): The P5CTS is Cubic and subcontractor DRS’ fifth generation ACMI system and is the global standard in air combat training systems. The system is consistently enhanced through aircraft and ground range integration, life cycle sustainment and capability growth programs.  
• Individual Combat Aircrew Debriefing System (ICADS): As one of the most widely used aircrew debriefing tools in the world, ICADS is a feature-rich, upgradeable display system that provides a highly accurate 3D perspective for both live mission management and post flight analysis of air combat missions. ICADS supports large force exercise as well as individual unit/flight training requirements.
• Live Virtual and Constructive (LVC) Training Solutions: Cubic is building upon its vast experience in air combat training to develop and deliver LVC training solutions.  Collaboration with multiple government agencies and industry partners on key capability upgrades allows CGD to provide an open, secure and high data throughput training environment that maximises combat readiness while providing scalable solutions from unit to large force exercise levels.
