Cubic Completes Asset Acquisition of Shield Aviation

Acquired assets to support the expansion of Cubic Mission Solutions' C4ISR portfolio

Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB) today announced that its subsidiary, ISR Systems, Inc., has acquired the assets of Shield Aviation, a provider of autonomous aircraft systems (AAS) for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) services. ISR Systems will further expand Cubic Mission Solutions’ (CMS) portfolio of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) solutions for secure and expeditionary communications and ISR processing, exploitation and dissemination.

“The acquisition of Shield Aviation’s unique medium-altitude autonomous aircraft solution expands our CMS offerings and strengthens our business in this area,” said Bradley H. Feldmann, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Cubic Corporation. “As Cubic continues to grow our C4ISR business, Shield Aviation’s assets will provide more opportunities in higher growth and higher margin markets.”
