Cubic receives simulation systems delivery contract from Turkey

Cubic has been awarded a $4m contract to deliver customised instrumented tactical engagement simulation systems for an undisclosed Turkish Government customer.

Under the contract, Cubic will deliver its Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES), which is claimed to offer a realistic, tactical, live training environment for soldiers and security forces training in the field against an opposition.

Designed for operating in all specified terrain and climatic conditions, the versatile system would offer training for individuals as well as units.

With the delivery of hardware and Command and Control (C2) scheduled during this year, the equipment would include manworn and vehicle MILES kits, grenades, small arms and anti-tank laser engagement systems, portable C2 kits, and software.

The deal also involves, Cubic working together with its local partner to offer operation and maintenance training of the MILES system.

Adding realism to training by bolstering the requirement for individuals, and units to stick on to operational policy, MILES precisely imitates both the actual firing capabilities and consequences of weapons during training, while detecting hits from laser ‘bullets’, in addition to performing damage and/or casualty assessments on targets.

Cubic’s versatile multiple integrated laser engagement system can be adapted for soldiers, vehicles, direct fire weapons, indirect fire weapons, area weapons effects, buildings, watercraft and fixed structures.
