Cubic to Deliver Additional F-35 Air Combat Training Subsystems

Cubic has received a contract award from Lockheed Martin to provide 130 P5 Internal Subsystems (IS) units for the F-35 Lot 20 production aircraft, and to establish a Lot 21-22 long-term pricing agreement in advance of future awards.

“Cubic’s P5 IS provides secure, high-fidelity instrumented live training for the F-35 program,” said Russ Marsh, President, Cubic Defense. “The capability allows 4th and 5th generation aircraft to train together seamlessly in live flight events while safeguarding critical tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP).”

The P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) unlocks powerful mission insight through seamless integration with truth data. Cubic’s solution drives precise live and post-mission assessments. It fuels the evolution of TTPs, enhancing combat effectiveness across 30+ test and training ranges in 17 countries, all within the trusted P5 training network. The P5 IS is a critical element of the P5CTS.

Cubic, along with its principal subcontractor, Leonardo DRS, will support all contractor activities related to the statement of work. The P5 IS improves the training systems used by the US Air Force, the U.S. Marine Corps, the US Navy, and coalition partners. The capability empowers Warfighters to relay precise time, space, and position information (TSPI) data throughout training missions—enabling joint, interoperable exercises with coalition partners on a unified platform.
