Cubic awarded special ops networking contract

Cubic has received two delivery orders to support networking at U.S. Special Operations Command.

The orders, with Cubic subsidiary DTECH Labs, are for mobile, modular, micro-single enclave, or M3-SE, secure networking equipment for USSOCOM's Tactical Local Area Network. 

The M3-SE "provides a modular, ruggedized, scalable and reliable communications solution that minimizes size, weight and power (SWaP) requirements while increasing capability at all levels," according to a Cubic news release.

"With this significant SWaP reduction, which includes DTECH's M3-SE-VSVR, a scalable hyper-converged compute capability, users now have the power and flexibility to create a distributed cloud architecture that provides Special Operation Forces (SOF) with mission services all the way to the edge of the battlefield in direct support of the warfighter," Cubic said.
