US Army to get Cubic’s I-MILES IWS
Cubic Global Defense has received contracts worth $44 million from the US Army for the supply of its Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System Individual Weapon Systems (I-MILES IWS), it announced on 22 February.
The US Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) awarded the contract for the I-MILES IWS, which uses laser transmitters attached to body sensors and military weapons to detect hits and perform real-time casualty assessments to replicate combat and record data.
The system features small, lightweight components, and the company claims that it takes less time to attach the small arms transmitters and align to the weapon than earlier versions. It is interoperable and upgradeable with the option to add range instrumentation solutions to support recording and playback of exercise results and manoeuvres.
Bill Toti, president, CGD, said: ‘Cubic’s I-MILES IWS enables increased confidence in the tactics practiced during training as it allows soldiers to train as they fight and do so more efficiently and effectively.’
