Cubic receives I-MILES TVS training contract
Cubic Corporation will provide its Instrumentable Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Tactical Vehicle Systems (I-MILES TVS) to the US Army under a $4.1 million contract announced on 24 July.
MILES TVS is a vehicular adaptation of Cubic’s man-worn Individual Weapons System (IWS 2). It equips HMMWVs and other tactical vehicles with lasers, sensors and electronics used during force-on-force combat training exercises, employing Cubic’s wireless vehicle technology to provide real-time casualty assessment necessary for MILES tactical engagement training in direct-fire instrumented training scenarios.
The system has high weapon simulation and casualty assessment accuracy for vehicles and fixed structures. It adapts to any wheeled or tracked tactical vehicle and is also configurable for buildings, fixed equipment, and other structures. The system also includes new features designed to improve ease of use for soldiers, including touch-screen displays with highly intuitive graphic interfaces.
Dave Schmitz, president, Cubic Defense Systems, said: ‘Cubic is proud to provide I-MILES TVS training equipment to the US Army. We are pleased to supply the army with the latest evolutionary advancements in our wireless training solutions, including better training fidelity, improved wireless communications and intuitive interfaces.’
This order, which comes from the US Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), is exercised under Option III under an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded in 2010. Cubic has been awarded almost $65 million to date under the IDIQ contract, which covers a base year and four option years.
