Cubic Secures UK MOD ILT-A Contract

Cubic Defence UK has been awarded a two-year, sole-source contract by the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MOD) to deliver the Instrumented Live Training – Area Weapons Effects System (ILT-A). The contract continues Cubic’s long-running relationship with the UK MOD, replacing the previous Area Weapons Effects Simulation (AWES) contract.

ILT-A integrates advanced laser and area-effects technology with fully instrumented live-fire range systems and Remotely Piloted Air Systems (RPAS) to create a digitized training environment with multi-domain threats. It also links with Cubic’s SCOPIC2 Virtual-in-Live synthetic environment to support comprehensive force training and interoperability with partner nations. Data collected during exercises informs the After Action Review process.

“ILT-A provides our soldiers with a realistic, data-rich training environment that enhances both competence and lethality,” said Simon Pearce, Synthetic Environments & Training, Defence Equipment and Support, UK Ministry of Defence. “The integration of Cubic’s Instrumented Metricized Live Fire capability and RPAS reflects the evolving character of combat and ensures the British Army can train with agility and precision.”

The contract includes options for individual and collective training support across multiple domains and levels, from Section to Brigade. It also features a life-extension program through the end of the decade and investment in experimentation to support UK MOD’s Force Development initiatives.
