Our take
Spanning ticket machines, smart card readers, traffic management, and many more public use technologies, the 1949-founded Cubic Corporation supports both public transport networks and defense across the globe.
The defense arm of the business, CMPS, is a leading provider of what it calls “synthetic digital solutions”. It supplies high-tech simulations of chemical and biological threats, strategic planning training through its SPEAR program, and a Synthetic Inject-To-Live (SITL) system that simulates close combat
On the public transport side, through business arm CTS, Cubic has contributed to the development of the National Ticketing Solution for New Zealand. This will allow a single fare card to be used on all public transport across the country. With both public and military technology services under its belt, Cubic is maintaining the cutting edge of both.
