Cubic Participates in Cope North ‘25 Multi-Domain Exercise

Tuesday, March 18th, 2025

Providing “truth in training” to trilateral air interoperability operations with U.S., Japan and Australia

SAN DIEGO – March 17, 2025 – Cubic’s Advanced Training Solutions (ATS) team delivered 4th and 5th generation Air Combat Maneuver Instrumentation (ACMI) systems, with Simplified, Planning, Execution, Analysis, Reconstruction (SPEAR) Common Data Model (CDM), to Cope North’s annual training exercise held in Guam.

“Our solutions introduce a new era in training, enabling posture and deterrence, exponentially increasing warfighter readiness.” said Paul Averna, VP and GM, ATS for Cubic. “The successful mission integrated a blended environment of F-35 P5 Internal Subsystem (IS), ACMI pods, ground stations and SPEAR, delivering a fully operational, high fidelity tracking of three F-35 partners and three variants of 4th gen fighters from three U.S. services for the first time ever. We’re grateful to participate in this critically valuable exercise and we look forward to many more years at Cope North.”

Cubic is a recognized industry leader in Air Combat Training (ACT) designs and delivers solutions to support 4th and 5th generation aircraft training. The F-35 P5 IS provides high fidelity, encrypted Time Space Position Information (TSPI) for live monitoring and post mission review for accurate and efficient reconstruction. Cubic’s ACMI pods incorporate advanced GPS technology, allowing pilots to train anywhere at any time over land and sea, enabling training missions to be conducted without reliance on fixed range infrastructure. In 2025, Cubic will field the next evolution of ACMI, P5 System Security Update (SSU), encrypting the ACMI pod data for true interoperability between 4th and 5th gen fighters. All training data is ingested in SPEAR, during and after the mission, for enhanced data visualization and analysis to provide “speed to insight” to significantly improve combat effectiveness. SPEAR delivers a complete reconstruction of “when, how and what” happened, allowing the participants to spend the majority of their debrief time on the analysis of “why” it happened.

Saab Receives Order for Additional Live Training Equipment from U.S. Marine Corps

Friday, March 14th, 2025

Saab has received a contract modification award from the U.S. Marine Corps for additional Marine Corps Training Instrumentation Systems (MCTIS) equipment. The order value for this award is USD $37 million (SEK 375 million) with deliveries taking place from 2025 to 2027.

This award ensures the U.S. Marine Corps will continue implementing Saab’s deployable and expeditionary MCTIS capability. This advanced, interoperable live training solution helps Marines train in the most realistic environments, significantly improving their performance and survivability on the battlefield.

The system focuses on developing and reinforcing effective tactics, techniques and procedures, while also facilitating joint training with NATO allies during multinational exercises.

“We are honored that the U.S. Marine Corps continues to rely on us as their training partner for the next generation of Marine warfighters,” said Erik Smith, President and CEO of Saab in the U.S. “Our training capability enhances combat readiness by immersing Marines in realistic scenarios and rigorously analyzing their decision-making and actions, ultimately delivering on the objective of saving American lives. We take pride in providing the premier interoperable, land-based live training capability in the world.”

Saab’s collaboration with the U.S. Marine Corps began with a contract awarded in June 2021, marking the transition from the previous Instrumentation and Tactical Engagement Simulation System II (ITESS – II) to the MCTIS training system.

Prolonged Casualty Care – “Not the Plan, But Needs a Plan”

Thursday, March 6th, 2025

In military and tactical medicine, Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) is a prime example of something that isn’t the plan but needs a plan. The standard protocol in combat medicine follows the MARCH algorithm and the Tactical Evacuation (TACEVAC) process, ensuring casualties are stabilized and rapidly evacuated to a higher echelon of care. However, in austere environments, evacuation might be delayed or impossible due to terrain, weather, enemy threats, or logistical failures.

PCC isn’t part of the intended medical plan because the expectation is rapid evacuation but since delays are a known possibility, a plan must exist to handle extended care in the field.

Key Elements of PCC Planning

1. Resource Management: Since standard medical resupply isn’t guaranteed, planning must include rationing fluids, medications, oxygen, and blood products.

2. Patient Monitoring & Deterioration Prevention: Extended field care requires tracking vitals, managing infections, and preventing secondary injuries.

3. Prolonged Pain Management & Sedation: Casualties may need extended analgesia, sedation, or even ventilatory support.

4. Field-Expedient Interventions: Improvising solutions for issues like wound care, nutrition, and hypothermia prevention.

5. Decision-Making on Movement vs. Staying Put: Teams must plan whether to hold their position or attempt a self-evacuation.

Conclusion

PCC is a contingency rather than the primary goal, yet it requires its own protocols, training, and preparation. Failing to plan for PCC means hoping for the best instead of preparing for the worst, a dangerous mindset in operational medicine.

Syracuse’s IVMF Offers No-Cost Google Cybersecurity Certificate to Veterans, Spouses

Saturday, January 25th, 2025

Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families is offering a no-cost Google Cybersecurity Certificate for veterans and military spouses as part of its Onward to Opportunity career training program. Research shows that a successful transition out of the military is predicated on finding the next impactful civilian career in which they can deploy their military-specific skills.

Veterans and military spouses are well-suited toward this career field that addresses threats and protects Americans’ data. Most cybersecurity jobs are fully remote, making them especially adaptable for spouses of active duty service members who move frequently and balance careers with their partners’ military service. Many veterans have IT/cyber experience from their military service that translates well to the civilian sector, and credentials like this make them more competitive in the job market.

Key Benefits:

No cost / no military/VA benefits required—program is fully-funded through a grant from Google

Entry-level program—no experience required

Self-paced, virtual learning

180 hours (target completion: six months)

New cohorts start each month

Access to career resources (resume review, interview prep, career support)

Discount exam voucher code toward CompTIA Security+ Exam

Nine continuing education units (CEUs) that can be applied toward specific college degrees

Cybersecurity Stats: High Demand, High Salaries

Cyberseek.org estimates that in 2023, there were more than 572,000 job openings requiring cybersecurity-related skills, and employers are struggling to find qualified candidates. On average, cyber roles take 21% longer to fill than other IT jobs.

Most entry-level positions offer nearly six-figure salaries.

One cyber attack every 39 seconds

95% of digital breaches caused by human error

$10.5 trillion total American business loss anticipated in 2025

Veteran Transition Stats:

The federal government spends $13 billion annually on military-to-civilian transition programs, primarily on education services, such as the GI Bill

The majority of veterans need – and want – the opportunity to go straight into the workforce.

Nearly two thirds of the nation’s 4.1 million post-9/11 veterans report that their civilian jobs don’t adequately align with their skills and education, even six years after service.

An estimated 200,000 service members transition out of the military each year, and more than half struggle with employment after service.
