Cubic teams up to bid for U.S. Northern Command,
NORAD services business

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – November 8, 2006 -- Cubic (Amex: CUB) will provide major support as one of eight contractor teams to receive an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract from the U.S. Air Force. The teams will be bidding for up to $800 million in task orders over five years to provide advisory and assistance services to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command. These are the military commands that provide aerospace warning and control support, and oversee U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) homeland defense efforts. U.S. Northern Command coordinates defense support of civil authorities who provide consequence management during and after natural or manmade disasters.

Cubic will be a primary support source for Delta Solutions & Strategies LLC of Colorado Springs, Colo. Delta’s 10-member team will bid to support homeland defense and C4ISR (Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaisance) activities for both USNORTHCOM and NORAD.

“These two commands – USNORTHCOM and NORAD -- represent important new customers and business opportunities for Cubic,” said Jim Balentine, senior vice president in charge of Cubic’s Mission Support Business Unit.

Cubic’s Threat Technologies Division, based in Kingstowne, Va., will perform the work. Part of the Mission Support Business Unit, the division currently supplies mission support to many military installations and DoD agencies, including the U.S. Joint Forces Command, U.S. Central Command, U.S. Pacific Command and Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Cubic’s array of support includes planning, analysis, computer-based simulation training, computer modeling, operational staff augmentation and military-civilian coordination. Cubic also has extensive experience in live, virtual, constructive, mission rehearsal and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) training.

Cubic Defense Applications (CDA), the defense segment of Cubic Corporation, 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.
