Cubic Provides Key Technologies For 'Friendship One' Bilateral Exercise

SAN DIEGO, California - April 22, 2009 - The defense segment of Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB) provided key training and simulation technologies during "Friendship One 2009" - a bilateral exercise designed to strengthen military interoperability and relations between the U.S. and the Royal Saudi Land Forces (RSLF). The event was the first large-scale training exercise between the two countries since the 1991 Gulf War.

Cubic, the world's leading provider of live combat training systems, provided its MILES engagement simulation systems, as well as tracking and positioning technologies, during the nine-day "force-on-force" exercise. It was the first RSLF exercise that incorporated Cubic's MILES and instrumentation systems.

"Cubic was honored to be part of this historic event," said Ray Barker, executive vice president of Cubic Defense Applications. "It provided us with a unique opportunity to demonstrate friendship and cooperation with our allies, and conduct combat operations using the most capable training systems available today."

The event, held during the months of February and March, involved over 250 combat vehicles and 460 dismounted soldiers equipped with Cubic's instrumented MILES system. Cubic's command and control system provided GPS positioning and information and casualty status of the troops and forces in real time, and recorded the data for post-mission analysis.

"Our equipment worked extremely well," said John Naff, vice president of Cubic Defense Applications. "The RSLF quickly grasped the functionality of the systems and significantly sharpened their combat skills. At the same time, the U.S. forces had the opportunity to train in an open desert environment - tough terrains that troops will face in the contemporary operational environment."

Cubic has delivered more than 140,000 MILES systems worldwide since 1997. The system allows troops to "kill" their opponents using eye-safe laser transmitters that are mounted on their actual weapons - including rifles and tanks - and a detector system that indicates if their opponent has been hit, missed or killed.

Cubic's deployable instrumentation system provides situational awareness to the training analyst, live monitoring of events and instant replay for after action reviews. The system comprises player instrumentation, observer/controller equipment, a transportable communications infrastructure and mobile exercise control center.
