Air Combat
A legacy of innovation. Since inventing Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) in the early 1970’s, we continue to lead the industry as the world’s foremost provider of air combat training systems, includingfourth and fifth generation air combat training systems. Aircrews from the United States Air Force, Navy, and Marines, as well as our Allied Partners, rely on Cubic systems to prepare for combat missions more effectively, and with less risk.
Train Like You Fight.
Cubic’s Air Combat Family of Systems provides a coherent, well-integrated suite of capabilities to provide aircrew the requisite airborne and ground infrastructure, live-monitor and debrief environments, and interoperability with Live, Virtual, and Constructive assets to conduct high-value, high impact training.
Our systems are designed to support legacy platforms, 4th and 5th Generation aircraft interoperability and advanced tactical training scenarios without adversely impacting the Golden Rule of training – Train Like You Fight.
Accelerating Combat Readiness.
Training proficiency is essential for warfighters and law enforcement who must be prepared to face new threats daily or emerging threats. Cubic's NextTraining™ provides innovative solutions for improved performance-based training, scalable training architectures, air combat training, and high-fidelity combat training centers.
These solutions deliver critical warfighting skills necessary to achieve mission success in combat under the most unforgiving conditions and against the most determined adversary.
Advanced Training Environment
Cubic's live, virtual and constructive (LVC) solution is driven by decades of work with aviators from every service. It creates a realistic, cost efficient, dynamic training environment for our nation's military and allied nation allowing the Department of Defense (DoD) and its coalition partners the ability to securely train, test and measure combat readiness like never before.
Our Secure LVC system is a combination of protocols, standards, hardware, and software, that supports multiple (4+) enclaves for LVC training allowing advanced kill web training between 4th and 5th generation aircraft in range and range-less environments.
SLATE Proven. Flight Tested. In Fighter Cockpits Today.
Fighter pilots train as they fight with Secure Live Virtual and Constructive Advanced Training Environment (SLATE), the proven and flight-tested open standards-based advanced training environment. With its high-fidelity and multi-domain focus, SLATE challenges warfighters in complex kill webs, teaching them to train as they would fight and helping them unlock their true potential.
The cutting-edge technology demonstrated a fully capable TRL 7+ LVC solution for F-15 and F/A 18 aircraft and showcased its full capabilities at Nellis Air Force Base during the SLATE-Advanced Technology Demonstration, where it validated the following technologies:
Using modified Operational Flight Programs (OFPs), Fleet Tactical Operations and Flight Training (TOFT) simulators and constructives, operational fleet platforms leverage existing ACMI infrastructure at LFE scale (validated 8 years ahead of DoD road map and acquisition plans)
Offboard and pod-borne LVC processor for tethered and untethered operations
5th Generation Advanced Training Waveform (5G-ATW), a U.S. Government–owned LVC data link, ported in Software Defined Radio configurations for pod and internal mount airborne subsystems
Multiple Independent Levels of Security (MILS) with NSA-certified encryption
Advanced guising of participants creates highly realistic training environment
