Cubic has received more than $10 million in new orders from the U.S. Army for the company’s tactical engagement system that works to help the service branch facilitate live, force-on-force training of soldiers.
Cubic said Wednesday its Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System Individual Weapon Systems 2 will support mission readiness exercises at the Army’s home stations.
Dave Buss, president of Cubic’s global defense segment, said the company designed I-MILES IWS 2 to combine realistic environments and equipment intended to help ground forces prepare for combat operations.
The laser engagement system works to transmit laser messages when a military weapon fires blank ammunition, Cubic noted.
The system’s body sensors are designed to detect hits and assess casualty to simulate combat effects.
