Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Northrop Grumman has received a $450 million, IDIQ contract to deliver Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) systems to the US Air Force.
The JTE Enhanced Delivery Initiative contract includes threat emitter units, mobile and fixed C2 units as well as spares, support equipment, testing and training.
The JTE offers realistic warfighter training and provides a modern, reactive battlespace environment that trains military personnel to identify and counter enemy missile and artillery threats. The robust and ruggedised system can be easily relocated, reactive to aircrew/aircraft for fast-jet, fixed-wing and rotary-wing defensive measures, and can be rapidly reprogrammed with new threat parameters.
Northrop Grumman’s JTE is the current US Air Force programme of record with 28 systems so far fielded both domestically and internationally.
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
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.
