Babcock nears first customer for Nomad AI translation tool
Nomad can provide militaries with real-time intelligence, saving critical time on the battlefield.
Cubic Global Defense has upgraded its P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) to include Earth Center Earth Fixed (ECEF) coordinates for accurate map positioning, the company announced on 3 August.
The upgrade also increases the coverage of large training areas, adds the ability to transition across several exercise regions without a loss in fidelity, and improves data capture and weapons simulations.
The P5CTS provides post-mission and real-time training for surface-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-air combat missions. It displays live-air picture, records mission data, and relays positioning, space and time data between aircraft participating in the training sorties. The system's key components include aircraft-mounted, GPS-enabled airborne instrumentation pods and ground stations to monitor and control combat training and conduct post-flight debriefing.
Bill Toti, president, Cubic Global Defense, said: 'This essential upgrade enables long-range missions to run across multiple adjacent ranges without having to load different coordinate planes. The use of ECEF coordinates will not only facilitate range management for large force exercises, it will also greatly improve accuracy, especially over long distances.'
