U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Hood tested an instrumented mortar system built by a team of Cubic and General Dynamics business units for synthetic training use.
Cubic said Monday its mission and performance solutions division developed the 81-millimeter indirect fire instrumentation with General Dynamics Mission Systems to support force-on-force drills.
Recent demonstration and testing efforts on the military base in Texas were part of a soldier touch point aimed to collect feedback on system performance and user input.
The training platform is designed to emulate trajectories and terminal effects of a ballistic munition weapon in a live exercise.
