Cubic Secure Communications will showcase its mission-critical communications technologies at the Army Aviation Association of America Summit 2026 from 15-17 April in Nashville, Tennessee. The Cubic Defense business unit will demonstrate protected waveforms for secure tactical communications, the EX-1 software-defined radio designed for contested electromagnetic spectrum environments, and Cubic Vector, a multi-band, multi-orbit SATCOM system. The solutions aim to maintain secure connectivity across air and ground platforms in contested operational environments. "As operational environments become increasingly contested, resilient communications are critical to network the warfighter with solutions that resolve critical communication gaps," said Dan Moran, Vice President and General Manager of Secure Communications at Cubic Defense. The company's technologies use open, software-defined architectures to address tactical and operational communication challenges.
Cubic Secure Communications to showcase adaptive and resilient communications at army aviation association of america (AAAA) Summit 2026. April 7, 2026 6:01 AM Gift Article Enabling secure, interoperable communications across contested electromagnetic spectrum environments SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / April 7, 2026 / Cubic Secure Communications, a business unit of Cubic Defense, will showcase its portfolio of mission-critical technologies at the AAAA Summit 2026, from April 15-17 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. "As operational environments become increasingly contested, resilient communications are critical to network the warfighter with solutions that resolve critical communication gaps," said Dan Moran, Vice President and General Manager of Secure Communications, Cubic Defense. "We are advancing secure communications through open, software-defined architectures that address critical gaps in tactical and operational environments, enabling mission execution across domains-even as adversaries attempt to detect, jam and intercept communications." Cubic's Secure Communications solutions enable networked communications across air and ground platforms, integrating multi-beam, multi-band and multi-orbit SATCOM, protected waveforms, software-defined radios (SDR), and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) radios. These capabilities address operational requirements and support resilient communications across contested electromagnetic spectrum environments. Unable to load content.

The enhanced system will deliver improved accuracy across force-on-force training, integrated analytics for performance insights, expanded NATO interoperability and scalable architecture. Cubic has supported the Romanian Armed Forces for over 20 years, delivering training systems that adapt to emerging threats and operational requirements. The company specialises in live, virtual and constructive ground training solutions for US and Allied Forces.
Cubic Defense to showcase proven Air and Ground Training Solutions for global mission readiness at the Singapore Airshow 2026. SAN DIEGO, CA, January 28, 2026 (Newswire.com) - Cubic Defense, a recognized leader in multi-domain advanced training solutions, will showcase its latest integrated capabilities at the Singapore Airshow, Changi Exhibition Centre, February 3-6 in Singapore. "Future force readiness requires integrated training environments that mirror the pace and the complexity of modern warfare," said Tammy L. Schmidt, Vice President and General Manager of Advanced Training Solutions, Cubic Defense. "Our integrated Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) capabilities provide realistic, data-driven training aligned to multi-domain mission requirements." "Cubic delivers realistic ground training capabilities that support interoperability across joint and coalition forces," said Alicia M. Combs, Vice President and General Manager of Ground Training Systems, Cubic Defense. "Operational readiness depends on training systems that can scale and adapt to increasingly complex threat environments." Visit the Cubic Defense booth at C-Y63 and speak with experts who will demonstrate the following: Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation and LVC Training Systems * P5 Combat Training System (CTS) is Cubic's world-leading ACMI system, which provides truth in training to 22 countries around the world. With over 1M flight hours recorded to date, the P5 CTS underscores Cubic's legacy as pioneers of the ACMI capability. * P5 System Security Update (SSU) adds Type 1 encryption to existing P5 CTS pods, securing 4th and 5th generation interoperability, protecting tactics during live and deployed training, and providing a cost-effective F-35-compatible upgrade that extends secure training integration for years to come. * P5 Block 7 Update transmits additional classified sensor and weapons data across Cubic's P5 waveform for affordable and dependable LVC training with accurate effects modeling without the cost of entirely new infrastructure. * Simplified Planning Execution Analysis Reconstruction (SPEAR) is Cubic's modernized software solution for real-time monitor and post-event debrief of advance training missions. SPEAR is a common data model and DoD-approved tech stack that reduces cognitive burden through optimized displays and analytics of kinetic and non-kinetic data in multi-domain operations and LVC environments. * Secure LVC Advanced Training Environment (SLATE) represents a generational leap forward in advanced training technology. Based on the phenomenally successful P5 franchise, SLATE incorporates LVC processing and transmission capabilities, which enable true Synthetic Inject-to-Live LVC, to include advanced guising of exercise participants. As a result, the pilot can experience the mass and complexity of high-end combat without any of the cognitive dissonance associated with Link-16-based LVC systems. LVC Ground Training * Tactical Engagement System (TES) - Individual Soldier System uses lightweight, wireless soldier modules integrated with tactical gear to deliver weapon-effect and threat detection without added burden, reducing soldier weight, heat load, and maintenance costs through MOLLE-mounted sensors and internal battery power. * TES - Vehicle provides modular, wireless force-on-force training with intuitive touch interfaces, providing accurate weapon simulations, real-time casualty assessment, and open-architecture adaptability across vehicle platforms. * TES - Instrumentation Systems (TES-IS) delivers mobile, squad through Brigade and above collective training with real-time GPS tracking, comms integration, and automated AAR tools integrated with LVC networks, including tri-laser codes (MILES, HEX-L and U-LEIS), feedback capabilities for observer-controllers and take-home performance packages. * TES - Constructive in Live (CIL) expands live exercises with constructive units and communications systems to train command planning and decision-making in realistic operational scenarios. * TES - Virtual in Live (VIL) integrates live and virtual domains to enable multi-domain training, integrating observation systems and TESS support to train joint fires, mission command, and sustainment functions.
