Cubic Wins $9.8 M Common Ground Station/Joint Tactical Terminal -CGS/JTT- Contract from U.S. Army; Cubic`s Data Link Technology Key to Program Since 1993 SAN DIEGO, Apr 16, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The U.S. Army`s Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) has awarded the defense unit of Cubic Corp. (AMEX: CUB) a $9.8 million contract for 10 additional Ground Data Terminals, part of the Army`s CGS/JTT System and used with the Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (Joint STARS) program. Between July 2003 through November 2003, Cubic will deliver 10 additional Ground Data Terminals (GDTs) to CECOM in increments of two per month. This contract brings the total amount awarded under the program to Cubic, since its first Joint Stars contract in 1993, to about $202 million. "This recent order, and the overall success of the Cubic Data Link product validates not only the importance of our technology and the JSTARS platform to past and current U.S. operations, but the dedication of those associated with the program these past 9 years," said Rick Lober, Senior Vice President, Communications for Cubic`s Defense Applications group. Joint STARS is a joint Army and Air Force program that transmits command and control data from Air Force surveillance aircraft to United States and Allied commanders on the ground. The Cubic-built data link, one of the key elements of Joint STARS, is a jam-resistant radio communications system that allows radar images and moving target indications to be broadcast from aircraft to multiple ground stations, allowing simultaneous communication with multiple ground support units. "CECOM`s decision to order the additional Ground Data Terminals is validation of the superior quality of our GDTs and our data link technology," said David S. Miller, Joint STARS program manager at Cubic`s Defense Applications group. The Army can deploy a number of already-delivered Cubic GDTs in the Middle East for potential use in Operation Enduring Freedom. To date, the Army has ordered nine lots of GDTs for the Army CGS/JTT program, which, along with the Air Force Air Data Terminals, (ADTs) are the key components of Cubic`s Joint STARS data link. Cubic`s Defense Applications group produces instrumented air and ground combat training systems, battle command training, simulations and simulation support for U.S. and allied military forces. The group also produces high technology avionics, data links and communications products for government and commercial customers, and a wide range of technical and logistics services. Cubic Corp.`s other major business segment, Cubic Transportation Systems, designs and manufactures automatic fare collection systems for public mass transit authorities.
