Cubic Delivers First Comprehensive Homestation Training System to U.S. Army Command in Korea

Category: Defence Industry

The defense segment of Cubic Corporation announced it had delivered the U.S. Army's first Initial - Homestation Instrumentation Training System (I-HITS) - the world's most advanced deployable training system - to the Eighth U.S. Army at Camp Casey, Korea. I-HITS provides high-fidelity training capabilities, including battle tracking, data collection and after-action reviews, without the need for a fixed infrastructure.

A completely self-contained package, I-HITS can be rapidly deployed to support force-on-force, force-on-target, joint and combined arms training. Cubic Defense Applications is delivering I-HITS to U.S. and allied forces under a five-year contract awarded in 2005 from the U.S. Army's PEO-STRI. The contract is potentially worth $71.7 million if all options are exercised.

The I-HITS configuration delivered to Camp Casey supports force-on-force engagement training for the U.S. Army's mechanized/armor infantry company. The delivery included player instrumentation that interfaces with MILES engagement simulation; observer/controller equipment; a transportable communications infrastructure, including a satellite-linked backbone; a mobile exercise control center; and deployable after-action review capability. The instrumentation tracks the positions and casualty status of troops and vehicles in real time and relays exercise data to command centers for post-mission analysis and after-action review presentations. The system can operate in tents, fixed shelters, buildings and vehicles. The Camp Casey instrumentation supports training for dismounted infantry, vehicles and observer/controllers - and it is expandable to integrate with over 2,000 live players and 8,000 virtual and constructive entities. It also provides training for urban operations.
