Cubic Defense Systems will supply specialist Home Station Counter IED training and an Instrumented Collective Combat Training Centre to the Italian Army under a new $12 million contract announced on 27 June.

The contract will see the company provide a home station training resource at 16 locations across Italy as well as a regional training centre to enhance the Combat Training Centres (CTC) already in place.

Cubic will also provide follow on maintenance to increase full spectrum training capacity for the Italian Army.

Dave Schmitz, president, Cubic Defense Systems, said: ‘This contract is significant because it confirms the Italian Army’s trust and confidence in Cubic’s ability to produce effective and efficient training products for their soldiers – making us the Italian Army’s training system vendor of choice.

‘The training systems provide an immersive, safe environment to prepare men and women for combat, and the upgrades extend capability and service life of the Italian Army’s original investment in the programme.’
