Instrumented Training
Systems and Ranges

The Worldwide Technical Services division was originally founded to provide field support services to the systems and devices designed, developed, manufactured and installed by Cubic Corporation.

To date, the division has supported a variety of instrumented training ranges and systems, the most significant of which have been the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) System ranges located in U.S., Egypt, Korea, Canada, the North Sea Range (England and The Netherlands), Italy, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand.

The Tactical Air Combat Training System (TACTS), which is equivalent to the ACMI of the Air Force, is the system used for Top Gun training.

Our personnel provide operations, maintenance, and logistics support for the Airborne Instrumentation Subsystem (AIS) pods (Photo A); the Tracking Instrumentation Subsystem (TIS); (Photo B is the TIS Master Station), the Control and Computation Subsystem (CCS, Photo C), and the Display and Debriefing Subsystem (DDS, Photo D).

Other instrumented training ranges and systems which are or have been supported by Cubic include:

• Kadena Interim Training System (KITS); Okinawa, Japan and Alpena, MI.
• Joint Readiness Training System (JRTC); Fort Polk, LA.
• Combat Maneuver Training System (CMTC); Hohenfels, Germany.
• National Training Center (NTC)/Air Warrior; Fort Irwin, CA.
• Nellis Air Combat Training System (NACTS); Nellis AFB, NV.
