Mike Knowles on Cubic’s Newly Consolidated Defense Segment

Cubic combined into a single business structure its mission solutions and global defense segments in August and Mike Knowles, president of the newly formed Cubic Mission and Performance Solutions segment, said he expects the consolidated defense business to improve operational efficiency and offer more integrated platforms to customers, Inside Defense reported Tuesday.

Knowles told the publication the combined business segments hope to “find some synergies in our product roadmaps and where we can find combinations that might bring more capability.”

“The really interesting part is removing any hurdles and driving greater collaboration on ideas,” he added.

Knowles, a senior vice president and former president of Cubic Global Defense, was tapped to lead the CMPS segment in August.
