A new product from Cubic Corporation introduces the concept of “Data Containers”, popular in the datacenter industry, to the mobile training industry with their new mobile virtual small arms trainer. It’s 40-foot long trailer that folds down into a self-powered and environmentally controlled 5-lane EST 2000.
Manufactured by Cubic’s Simulation Systems Division in Orlando, Florida, EST 2000 is a laser-based system that uses digital video projectors, high-definition screens, game-based computer graphics and ballistically accurate simulated weapons to create highly realistic virtual combat scenarios. It replicates the performance of individual small arms and crew-served weapons. Its geo-specific virtual scenarios can be varied from urban to jungle and mountain terrains to Middle Eastern desert environments.
These units are already scheduled to hit the ground in Fort Knox, the US Army WAr College, and a National Guard Armory.
