Cubic Corporation’s Cubic Global Defense (CGD) business division was contracted by BAE Systems to deliver the P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) as part of a Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft delivery to an international customer. The order includes P5CTS airborne subsystems (pods), associated ground subsystems and logistics support. Cubic’s P5CTS provides high-fidelity, live mission training capabilities for advanced weapons and tactics training.
The P5CTS is designed to provide secure, tailorable andscalable instrumentation solutions that support warfighter needs in air-to-air,air-to-ground and surface-to-air combat training missions. The system enhancesreal-time and post-mission training by displaying the live-air picture,recording mission data, adjudicating weapons engagements and relaying Time,Space and Positioning Information (TSPI) between participating aircraft duringtraining sorties. Key components of the system include secure, GPS-enabled,aircraft-mounted airborne instrumentation “pods” plus ground stations, whichhelp aircrew conduct, monitor and control air combat training and post-flightdebriefing.
“P5CTS empowers Air Forces to conduct high-fidelity, liveand interoperable training across their fleet of combat aircraft so thatmaximum readiness is attained from each flying hour. Our system sets thestandard for joint and coalition training by enabling exercises from unit levelto joint, large force exercises,” said Jonas Furukrona, vice president andgeneral manager of air training solutions, Cubic Global Defense.
“Cubic and our partner Leonardo DRS are working closely withinternational aircraft manufacturers like BAE to integrate and deliver theP5CTS and this order further sustains P5CTS viability through the Typhoon lifecycle,” added Furukrona.
