Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Cubic Defence Australia has been selected as the primary contractor for the development and delivery of simulation-enabled training events for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the company announced on 7 August.
The AUD$9 million, four-year contract will see the company support the RAN’s multisite synthetic training events at the Navy Synthetic Warfighting Centre (NSWC) by providing simulation planning, technical support and professional interactors for local and distributed training.
The NSWC, located at the HMAS Watson Naval Base, facilitates synthetic training events and delivers mission training activities in both land-based simulators and ships.
The contract will increase the potential of live, virtual and constructive training integration across the RAN. Supporting both individual and collective training, the company will design and deliver synthetic training events and networks involving a combination of simulators, which will be distributed to naval vessels.

The company will operate in two new locations in the coming years to better support US services.
This type of tool provides more realistic training easing the incorporation of new scenarios that accurately represent the threats of the battlefield.
The Engineering Corps has been conducting individual instruction using FLAIM Systems’ Sweeper and should start collective deployments in 2025.
The next-generation platform is motion-compatible and can be used in OTW and NVG applications.
The system can be used to prepare soldiers for both drone offensive operations and CUAS missions.
