SAN DIEGO, California – October 26, 2011 – Cubic Applications, Inc. (CAI), a
Mission Support Services subsidiary of Cubic
Corporation (NYSE: CUB), has won four contracts worth a total of more than $10.8
million for continued training and support services at the U.S. Army’s Combined
Arms Center (CAC).
The CAC, located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, provides Army-wide leadership
and supervision for leader development and professional military and civilian
education. The Center includes the Command and General Staff School (CGSS),
which teaches the Intermediate Level Education (ILE) course, a 10-month course
required for all Army majors. Many Army majors complete the course remotely
through The Army School System, online learning and web-based collaboration.
CAI’s Omega Training and Education Division personnel assist the CGSS by
developing and maintaining distance learning courses through the development of
Interactive Multimedia Instruction.
Omega also provides assistance through help desk support, conducting ILE
courseware analysis, and developing and maintaining both The Army School
System’s battalion (reserve) course and the Advanced Operations Course (AOC)
Blended Learning.
Blended learning is the professional education approach the Army is pursuing
as part of "The U.S. Army Learning Concept for 2015.” The goal is creating a
learner-centric, career-long instruction continuum that provides rigorous and
relevant training and education at the point of need for soldiers. Blended
learning will reduce or eliminate instructor-led lectures in favor of virtual
and constructive simulations, gaming technology, and other technology-based
instruction. In a new role at the CAC, Omega will provide training and
educational analysis and help track the goals and benchmarks of the Learning
Concept, as well as evaluate program statements and related implementation
documents to ensure connectivity with the concept.
As a subcontractor to Serrano IT Services of Omaha, Omega also will provide
support to the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) at CAC, with analysis and
writing capability, responses to requests for information and assistance in
producing reports and white papers. CALL is a knowledge-sharing center that
rapidly collects, analyzes and disseminates observations, insights, lessons,
tactics, techniques and procedures to enhance the Army’s preparedness for
conducting current and future operations.
