Cubic to Collaborate With RhinoCorps
on Immersive Training System for Security Forces
ORLANDO, Florida – June
9, 2010 - Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB) announced it is collaborating with RhinoCorps
to develop a deployable and expandable immersive training system to improve the
performance of security teams and planners.
Cubic’s Innovation and Technology Center, based in Orlando’s Research
Park complex, is leading the development effort. The “core” system
will be designed to deliver training in the computer-based constructive training
domain and can be expanded to include virtual and live training domains.
Simajin, a constructive simulation application developed by RhinoCorps, will
serve as the scenario driver. Cubic will provide the live-virtual interfaces
with Simajin’s software, along with the ability to integrate a commercial
gaming engine, a three-dimensional terrain generator, Cubic’s COMBATREDI “virtual
reality” system or its MILES Individual Weapon System (IWS) laser tactical
engagement system.
These components will merge to provide an immersive training experience that
will allow security forces to develop their skills in force-on-force direct-action
engagement; executing tactics, techniques and procedures; developing and executing
courses of action; site vulnerability and protection planning; crisis response
planning; after-action assessment and sharing of lessons learned. Small units
will be able to participate as a virtual or live entity within a constructive
training environment, or
execute mission rehearsal exercises for real-world security
missions.
