Cubic Corp. will be working under a $15.6 million contract to provide its new P5 Combat Training System to restore live instrumented air combat training at the Air National Guard’s Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center. Hurricane Katrina destroyed the center’s live instrumentation capability at the center, which is used by ANG, Air Force Reserve, active Air Force, and Navy aircrews. Air Armament Center at Eglin AFB, Fla., which oversees P5CTS deployment for all the services, has slated delivery and operational capability at Gulfport early next year.
The Air Force is requesting about $141 million for initial enlistment bonuses in its fiscal 2026 budget, while Space Force wants $13 million.
