New Cubic MILES IWS equipment for Romania
Cubic has been awarded a contract modification to provide its Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System Individual Weapon System (MILES IWS) equipment to Romania, the company announced on 19 February.
Under this over $2.9 million modification, Cubic will continue providing its MILES IWS next-generation training technology to Romania as part of an existing Foreign Military Sale (FMS) with the US Army.
Cubic will provide new MILES IWS equipment, spare parts and computer server and software updates to refresh the Romanian exercise control centre that was originally delivered in 2009.
Bill Toti, president, Cubic Global Defense, said: 'This contract reinforces Romania's continued interest in our MILES IWS equipment. Our Romanian customer is very important to us and this award extends the work we have accomplished together to effectively advance the training experience. With Cubic's technology, Romania is able to train with the US Army and our allies.
'We will supply the latest advancements in our wireless training solutions, including better training fidelity, improved wireless communications and intuitive interfaces.'
The Cubic MILES IWS is a tactical engagement simulation system. It uses laser emitters attached to military weapons and on-body sensors to replicate combat and record data for later review. It increases training effectiveness by reducing setup and calibration time, so soldiers can spend more time on tactics.
