Cubic and Vitrociset win combat training center program in Italy
Cubic Corporation and Vitrociset S.p.A., a defense, space and electronics company headquartered in Rome, have been awarded a five-year contract by the Italian Ministry of Defense for combat training. This program will provide the Italian Army the most advanced instrumented combat training center in Europe with live and constructive simulation capabilities at five different sites, and includes urban warfare training instrumentation. The program is expected to generate more than $50 million in revenues over the contract performance period.
Cubic and Vitrociset will provide and integrate fully instrumented man-worn and vehicle Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) kits to enhance the training of Italian forces in realistic operational settings. It includes urban training, specialized weapons effects, and a constructive simulation element to refine leader command, control, and operational decision making.
"Not only is the Italian CTC a significant contract in terms of its size and scope, but it also represent our first major sale in Italy and first ground combat win in Western Europe in many years," said Bradley H. Feldmann, President, Cubic Defense Applications. "We are grateful that Cubic was chosen for this program, and look forward to working with Vitrociset to deliver a training capability that exceeds the expectations of the Italian Ministry of Defense."
