The Warfighter Readiness Research Division Contractor Team is led by the Simulation and Training Division of L-3 Communications Corporation. Ball Aerospace and Leidos are also members of the team. Work will take place at Wright-Patterson Air Base in Ohio and is expected to be completed in January 2023.

The programme’s aim is to improve training fidelity, enable comprehensive cross-mission, implement performance-based debriefs and reduce training/exercise overhead for the US Air Force by creating and validating an interoperable, secure training toolset. Moreover, the team of companies will develop technology to create wide-spectrum readiness capabilities that are architecture, network and domain agnostic.

Cubic Global Defense’s President, Bill Toti, said: “We look forward to working with AFRL researchers and our industry partners within the Warfighter Readiness Research Division Contractor Team to find and deliver the knowledge and skills our warfighters need to dominate their operating environment. As part of our NextTraining strategy, Cubic is focused on raising mission readiness and optimizing human performance for our customers to enable the most effective and efficient training methods.
