Cubic, AMTI team wins $53 million ID/IQ contract
To provide engineering, other services for C4ISR anti-terrorism
efforts
SAN DIEGO,
Calif. – June 21, 2005 -- Cubic Corporation
(AMEX: CUB) announced that its defense segment is part of
a team headed by Applied Marine Technology Inc. (AMTI) of
Virginia Beach, Va., that received a $53 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity
(ID/IQ) multiple award contract from the Space and Naval
Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center, Charleston, S.C. The contract
is for engineering, analytical, technical, and programmatic
support services for Global War on Terrorism Command, Control,
Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems and projects.
This one-year, cost-plus-incentive-fee performance-based
contract includes four one-year option periods that, if exercised,
would bring the cumulative value of the contract close to
$272 million. Cubic is one of seven subcontractors to AMTI
under the new contract. The company’s primary responsibility
will be to supply training and analytical support. Cubic’s
Operations Support Division, based in Hampton, Va., will
perform the work, which is expected to be completed by May
2006. The Operations Support Division is part of the Mission
Support Business Unit of the Cubic Defense Applications group.
“This contract award is Cubic’s second initiative
with AMTI, a Virginia business that has played an increasingly
important role in preparing federal, state and local governments
to respond to potential terrorist attacks,” said Rich
Bristow, vice president and general manager of Cubic’s
Operations Support Division. “Cubic employees also
supported AMTI in planning and executing the recently concluded
TOPOFF 3 training exercises, which are sponsored by the Department
of Homeland Security.”
The Cubic Defense Applications group is one of Cubic's two
major segments. Cubic Defense Applications is a world leader
in realistic combat training systems, mission support services
and defense electronics. The corporation's other major segment,
Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic
fare collection systems for public mass transit authorities.
