Cubic Corp To Supply Simulator Worth $19.9 Million To IDF

Cubic Corporation has been awarded a $19.9 million modification contract, in support of the Israeli military by amending a previously awarded firm-fixed-price, foreign-military-sales contract, officials announced.

The contract includes the sale of Israeli Defense Forces Engagement Skills Trainer 2000 Plus Systems and related services to the IDF.

The EST2000 is a combat simulator used by the IDF to train on a variety of small arms systems, from M16 and M4 rifles all the way up to mortars and LAW and RPG rockets. Essentially a hi-tech shooting gallery, the EST trains troops in marksmanship, small unit tactics, and "shoot/don't shoot" techniques and skills.

Cubic collaborates with Israel's Rafael and Bagira Systems to produce the EST2000 as required by the IDF.
