CMPS president Mike Knowles said: “Building on our extensive multi-domain experience, Cubic now also delivers to the warfighter a Common Data Model (CDM) for multi-domain data, in a game-changing common operational picture.

“For the entire exercise, every Checkered Flag 21-1 mission used SPEAR for both live monitoring and debrief.”

SPEAR provided technical and operational ease to the site administrators and the Range Training Officers (RTOs) via a streamlined user experience.

This is said to have allowed more than 75 aircraft to train and fight simultaneously. The hardware was installed in one day, which showcases the set-up and networking ease.

CMPS LVC Training vice-president and general manager Jonas Furukrona said: “As demonstrated by results at Checkered Flag and Red Flag, we are seeing increased demand for the ability to effectively assess and adjudicate kinetic and non-kinetic effects, especially when we look at the importance of multi-domain operations.

“We have already secured a sale to a coalition partner for this capability and believe SPEAR will set a new standard in ensuring operator readiness.”
