Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Cubic Global Defense (CGD) has received a delivery order from the US Marine Corps for the Instrumented-Tactical Engagement Simulation System II (I-TESS II), the company announced on 3 December. The order is valued at $2.1 million.
The I-TESS II system is a fully integrated ground combat training system in a deployable package. It is designed for use in urban terrain facilities and non-live fire manoeuvre ranges at marine corps bases and installations.
The components of the system include rocket-propelled grenade, small-arms laser transmitter, AT4 anti-tank and anti-armour rocket simulators, and laser detection sensors for personnel, vehicles, mobile and portable command and control systems.
Bill Toti, president, Cubic Global Defense, said: ‘I-TESS II is a turnkey capability that brings new levels of realism in an immersive environment to replicate the threat of live combat scenarios. Cubic looks forward to the continued partnership with the marine corps in offering advanced training technologies and solutions using realistic battle simulations to better prepare our marines.’
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.
