“We are constantly innovating and enhancing our training capabilities to meet the needs of our customers and enable a realistic, modern training experience,” said Miles Macdonald, general manager, Cubic Defence Australia.

“Through solutions such as Synthetic Wrap, we augment the live training environment with virtual and constructive simulation, allowing soldiers to train with platforms and deliver effects that would otherwise be prohibited by cost, scarcity or safety.” 

As well as showcasing the Synthetic Wrap, Cubic announced it would be also be demonstrating:

• Integrated Training Environment (ITE): the ITE provides instrumentation for the Integrated Soldier System and the Land Combat Vehicle System in home station and high-end collective training, across force-on-force, live fire and force-on-target activities. The architecture is open with interoperable standards and enables live, virtual and constructive (LVC) blending to address training requirements at multiple training levels. The ITE is also suitable for amphibious and aviation operating environments. A Synthetic Wrap delivers joint synthetic effects securely down to an individual soldier and platform and in the field.
• Exercise Control (EXCON) and After Action Review (AAR): Cubic’s CATS Metrix is a sophisticated software product for EXCON and AAR used by operators and instructors to plan, conduct, control, monitor, record, debrief and evaluate live force-on-force training from squad to brigade level. CATS Metrix provides automated operator support to evaluate defined goals, doctrines and tactics during a live exercise, resulting in an AAR with feedback to the exercise unit.
• NEXUS Analytics: NEXUS Analytics is a modular system that collects and synthesises data from existing systems. NEXUS Analytics provides a data-backed understanding of soldier/unit readiness enabling forces to conduct short, medium and long-term learning to enhance their combat capabilities.
