Cubic Global Defense to showcase live, virtual
and constructive training capabilities with in-booth
demonstration
Cubic Global Defense (CGD), a business unit of Cubic Corporation
(NYSE: CUB), today announced it will perform live training
demonstrations of its Synthetic Wrap capability at the 2016
Interservice/Industry Training Simulation and Education Conference
(I/ITSEC) in Orlando, Florida from November 28 to December 2. As
the world’s largest modeling, simulation and training conference,
I/ITSEC is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the theme,
“Pushing the Training Envelope: Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC),”
led by the United States Air Force.
During the five-day event, Cubic will showcase its approach to
the LVC and integrated training environments with live, in-booth
demonstrations of its Synthetic Wrap solution. Synthetic Wrap blurs
the boundaries between the live and virtual environments; live
trainees who are instrumented, using Cubic’s tactical engagement
system, are injected into the digital world while on a training
exercise, which also integrates live and virtual, friendly and
opposing forces. The trainees, who are now shown on digital
training terrain, can be tracked and attacked from a virtual
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), close air support (CAS) platform or
any live or virtual artillery within range. Cubic Defence UK has
been leveraging this Synthetic Wrap capability for Micro-SCOPIC,
the British Army’s Collective Training Synthetic Wrap program,
since earlier this year as the sole provider in Canada, Kenya and
the U.K.
“The nature of contemporary operations is changing how the
missions are fought, and modern tactical training systems must be
able to meet both the kinetic and cognitive elements of hybrid
warfare in order to deliver the training needs of an increasingly
diverse and specialized audience,” said Dave Buss, president of
Cubic Global Defense. “Cubic’s Synthetic Wrap is an emerging
training technology using game-based technology and expeditionary
Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks, to ensure that the
hard-to-train warfighters and complex military capabilities can,
for the first time, play an integrated role in training and
accreditation at the individual, team and collective levels.”
Cubic will showcase its instrument live training capabilities
with state-of-the-art tactical simulation solutions at the
following dates and times in booth #1549:
- Monday, November 28: 3:00-3:30
p.m. and 4:30-5:00 p.m. (local time)
