Cubic has successfully completed the first phase of a development of a manned / unmanned (M/UM), live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) deployable air range system for the US Air Force (USAF).

Cubic Global Defense is working in collaboration with the Wright State Research Institute (WSRI) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). It is developing an M/UM LVC range, which when complete will be the first planned unmanned aerial systems (UAS) range to combine LVC capabilities.
