MILES 2000

Article Abstract:

Cubic Defense Systems Inc.'s next generation Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES 2000) is touted having greater capabilities depicting more realistic battlefield conditions. Marine Corps completed tests in January 1998 on the equipment, which uses innovative digital electronics technology and provides greater accuracy in weapons simulation and casualty assessments. MILES 2000 consists of eight detectors for personnel worn on a combat vest and another four on a helmet-mounted band, while the vehicle equipment includes a detector system and a kill status indicator light. Cubic secured a contract worth $31.6 million from the US Army to transition into full-rate production on MILES 2000. The firm could produce 200,000 units of various equipment worth almost $130 million if all options are exercised.

Lockheed Martin to build aviation simulators

Article Abstract:

Lockheed Martin Information Systems Co of Orlando, FL, has won a $300- million contract for the supply of training simulators to the entire aviation fleet of the US Marine Corps. The contract calls for the delivery of 18 units of the training devices, also called Aircrew Procedural Trainers, by 2007 with the first four due by 2003.

Air combat intelligence

Article Abstract:

The unique requirements placed on the Marine aircraft wing (MAW) for countering the insurgent threat within Iraq resulted in additional intelligence requirements beyond being the central node for the Marine air-ground task force aviation-specific intelligence. The response time to subordinate unit RFIs, by consolidating the intelligence effort at the wing level, was reduced that decreased the workload on the tactical fusion centre.
