The “world’s oldest calendar air show” kicked off its 52nd annual event at the Paris-Le Bourget Airport on Monday, June 19. Quoting the San Diego Union Tribune, “Southern California companies plan to pack a powerful punch in Paris [at the Paris Air Show,] accounting for 41 businesses out of the 387 American companies currently on schedule to exhibit their products and services at Le Bourget.”
Cubic’s industry-leading, air combat training systems were on display at the 2017 Paris Air Show. CGD president and former Navy “Air Boss,” Dave Buss led the Cubic team’s efforts in booth 3-B158.
Among the various air combat training solutions displayed at the show, Cubic’s “Top Gun” P5CTS training system was highlighted. Providing real-time training for combat missions, this system displays live-air pictures, records mission data and relays Time, Space and Positioning Information between participating aircraft during training sorties. Check out the video.
Read on for a recap of the Cubic capabilities showcased at the show:
- Secure Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI): The Cubic Miniature Encryptor solution provides increased security for the P5CTS pod and ground station. The CME is also designed to be interoperable with the JSF P5 Internal
Subsystem to enhance fourth/fifth-generation air combat training. Watch the demo. - LVC (Live Virtual and Constructive) Training: Cubic’s LVC training demonstrates a new, secure waveform with tactical aircraft and range ground stations for air combat training.
- Synthetic Training Environment (STE): Cubic’s Tactical Engagement System and LVC simulation delivers a deployable and scalable arms mission training capability back into the hands of the unit commander.
- Bandit Board: Integrated, tactical training capability that transmits the live P5CTS picture into an aggressor pilot’s electronic kneeboard. Watch the video.
- Individual Combat Aircrew Display System (ICADS): An advanced Windows-based aircrew combat display and debrief software system that is operated by multiple air forces worldwide and compliant with U.S cybersecurity mandates.
