The Army's Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) awarded the contract to Cubic through Tec-Masters Inc. of Huntsville, AL. Under the contract, Cubic will provide MILES 2000 components for dismounted and antitank weapon systems. The orders will supplement 8,000 MILES 2000 systems that have been delivered to Fort Polk to date.

MILES 2000 deliveries to JRTC will begin in December and continue through May 2006. The deliveries include vests and simulators for weapons including M16A2/M4 rifles, M2 heavy machine guns, M24 sniper rifles and AT-4 weapons.

Cubic has delivered more than 60,000 MILES 2000 systems to customers worldwide since 1997. Over the past two years, the company has received approximately $100 million in orders for MILES 2000. The company is also supplying a next-generation MILES individual weapon system to the U.S. Army as part of a $113 million, five-year contract awarded last December.
