LEONARDO DRS RECEIVES CONTRACT TO DELIVER P5 COMBAT TRAINING SUBSYSTEM FOR F-35 AIR COMBAT TRAINING
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Cubic Global Defense has awarded Leonardo DRS a contract to deliver more than 500 P5 Combat Training System (P5CTS) internal subsystems for the latest-generation air combat training for the F-35 Lightning II. With this order, over 1,000 F-35 aircraft will be equipped with this training equipment and delivered to multiple F-35 user nations.
As the principal subcontractor to Cubic Global Defense, Leonardo DRS’s Airborne and Intelligence Systems business unit designs, produces, and supports the P5CTS Internal Subsystems component of the Air Combat Training System.
The P5CTS Internal Subsystems enables real-time, live monitoring and recorded mission data of air-to-air, air-to-ground and surface-to-air training scenarios for both real-time training and post mission analysis. Unlike the wing-mounted P5CTS pods, the internal subsystem is placed inside the F-35.
The P5CTS Internal Subsystems will be delivered to Cubic Corp. over the next four years as part of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 production Lots 12-14.
