Cubic to Conduct Disaster Training for New York City First Responders
New Contract with NYC Office of Emergency Management

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - September 25, 2008 -- Cubic Applications, Inc., the mission support services business of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), has received a contract valued at approximately $1 million from the New York City Office of Emergency Management to conduct All Hazards Exercises to train city personnel in responding to catastrophic events.

Cubic's Threat Technologies Division in Kingstowne, Virginia, started work in July on a two-year contract with three two-year options. Under the contract, Cubic will conduct exercises for police, fire, health department and other city personnel. The client will provide Cubic with parameters for each exercise, and Cubic will develop the scenarios. Cubic's first exercise under the new contract will take place in early 2009 and will feature a Weapons of Mass Destruction-related scenario. A future scenario could address hurricane preparedness.

Cubic is a leading international provider of combat, homeland security and emergency response training. Cubic conducts CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High-Yield Explosives) training exercises for the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency that involve U.S. military personnel as well as foreign governments around the world. Cubic has also supported emergency response exercises for the Department of Homeland Security.

Cubic considers the New York City Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to be at the forefront of government agencies involved in disaster response, and is pleased to add the organization to its clients.

This new contract will allow Cubic to help New York to build on the lessons learned from past emergencies to achieve the highest possible level of preparedness for emergency workers," said Bill Magill, Cubic director of the New York training effort.
