Cubic
Demonstrates
Successful
Development of Fully
Integrated Tactical
Two-way Sensor Data
Transport Solution
to Support the
Unified Combatant
Command
Cubic Corporation
announced that its
subsidiaries
TeraLogics, DTECH
Labs (DTECH) and
GATR Technologies
(GATR), which
operate within the
Cubic Mission
Solutions (CMS)
business division,
received initial
purchase orders to
provide the Unified
Combatant Commands
(UCC) with Tactical
Two-way Sensor Data
Transport (T2SDT)
baseband kits.
Cubic’s integrated
T2SDT solution will
upgrade existing
Digital Video
Broadcasting-Return
Channel via
Satellite (DVB-RCS)
terminal
capabilities.
T2SDT terminals are
high-data rate, ruggedized
Full Motion Video (FMV)
terminals that support the
backhaul, storage,
reception,
transrating/transcoding and
overall management of
real-time FMV. T2SDT
terminals provide a small
footprint, easy-to-deploy
solution that supports
multiple high-definition
videos; saves satellite
bandwidth for each video by
using latest video encoding
standards; significantly
reduces size, weight and
power; and allows each
terminal to manage and
quickly understand the
ingested real-time video.
“The U.S. government
evaluated various hardware
and software systems,
including terminals,
encoders, ruggedized network
equipment and video
management systems among
others, to find
best-in-class-solutions.
When the evaluation was
complete, the majority of
the core solutions selected
were from Cubic,” said
Bradley H. Feldmann, chief
executive officer and
president, Cubic
Corporation. “This award is
a great example of Cubic
subsidiaries working
together – demonstrating the
inherent synergy in our
C4ISR strategy – to provide
our customers with
innovative and effective
solutions cross a critical
mission chain.”
After a series of
government evaluations and
demonstrations, in addition
to trials of video
management software,
ruggedized hardware and
mobile satellite terminals,
UCC recognized TeraLogics’
Unified Video® cloud
management application,
DTECH’s network and server
components and GATR’s
2.4-meter inflatable
satellite communication
terminal as the best
component parts for T2SDT.
Cubic’s TeraLogics is
leading the delivery effort,
providing UCC with the final
integrated baseband kits.
Cubic’s solution fulfills
UCC’s requirement to
backhaul sensor data from
Intelligence, Surveillance
and Reconnaissance (ISR)
assets deployed around the
globe in support of High
Value Target positive
identification and other
direct action missions. In
addition to the sensor data
backhaul requirement,
Cubic’s solution also
provides command and control
services over the same
tactical kit to support user
communities across the UCC.
