Cubic tailors mortar simulator for the US Army
The company’s mortar trainer received improvements based on soldier’s feedback.
Cubic Global Defense has partnered with Thales to bid for the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) Training and Simulation Systems Programme (TSSP) Joint Fires Synthetic Training (JFST) project, Thales announced on 1 March.
The JFST project aims to improve training capabilities for the British Army by providing an immersive Joint Fires (JF) solution to train JF integrators in both mounted and dismounted roles – across land, littoral and air domains at the individual and collective levels.
Cubic and Thales will offer an innovative and immersive training system for the UK armed forces that leverages their capabilities in network security; exercise management and after-action review tooling; advanced live, virtual, constructive and synthetic environments; and training service management and delivery.

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.
