Cubic Announces $16.3 M NBC Training Solutions Contract
Cubic Receives $16.3 Million Contract From NAWCTSD to Explore Solutions for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Training
(San Diego, CA., August 27, 2008) -- Cubic Applications, Inc., a defense services subsidiary of Cubic Corporation (AMEX: CUB), has been awarded a contract with a potential value of $16.3 million to explore emerging technologies and develop prototype solutions to strengthen the military's training in nuclear, biological and chemical response.
In July, Cubic began work on an incrementally funded contract with the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) in Orlando, Florida. NAWCTSD has provided $2 million in funding to date for the contract, which is scheduled for completion in May 2011. Employees of Cubic's Virginia-based Threat Technologies Division are performing the work in Shalimar, Florida, near Eglin Air Force Base, a key focal point for the technology development. This effort is part of the Training Transformation (T2) Initiative in support of U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM).
"This is an important effort within the overall Training Transformation initiative and increases Cubic's business with NAWCTSD, as well as with our Eglin and Joint Forces Command customers. It also provides the contractual vehicle that may lead to other opportunities within the joint testing and training environments," said Rick Dickson, Program Director and lead for the Shalimar office within Cubic's Threat Technologies Division.
