IVSE is an advanced learning solution for the US Navy’s LCS training programme that provides trainees with a photo-realistic, three-dimensional virtual environment in order to train them in a wide range of tasks in settings that are virtually identical to real-life scenarios.

The latest orders are expected to add new functionality and virtual content to the current LCS training environment.

Cubic Orlando Operations general manager Ray Oliver said: “Cubic truly has a unique team structure where we integrate learning science and technology to meet our customers’ training needs.”

Cubic’s Orlando site currently employs more than 260 personnel and offers a studio environment that supports the advancement of game-based training.

The company previously received four additional delivery orders worth $22m in October last year to support the LCS’s immersive game-based courseware.
