Cubic Corporation has received an order worth $11 million for its Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 (EST 2000) virtual small arms training system.
The order is the result of a modification to an existing contract requested by the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI).
The modification covers a mix of additional EST equipment, including simulated weapons and EST training subsystems, primarily for use by the Army National Guard.
It also includes a research and development project to create a design mock-up for 77 Loader’s Armored Gun Shields (LAGS) -- devices made with ballistic glass designed to help protect gun loaders in their fighting position in one of the turret hatches of M-1 Abrams battle tanks.
EST 2000, built by the Cubic Simulation Systems division based in Orlando, Florida, uses digital video projectors, high-definition screens, game-based computer graphics and ballistically accurate weapons for marksmanship, collective and shoot/don’t-shoot judgmental use of force training
