Cubic Defense has been awarded a multi-year contract from Public Works and Government Services Canada, on behalf of Canada’s Department of National Defence, to provide live simulation support to the Canadian Army through Contractor Conducted Logistics Support.
The six-year contract provides logistics assistance to the Canadian Weapon Effects Simulation (CWES) program, supporting CWES live training at four Canadian Forces Bases: Gagetown, New Brunswick; Valcartier, Quebec; Petawawa, Ontario; and Wainwright, Alberta.
“We are honored to continue supporting the Canadian Army and appreciate this nearly three-decade partnership that will revitalize our live simulation training support to the CWES program,” said Alicia Combs, Vice President and General Manager of Cubic Ground Training. “This contract expands on the effort to advance the Canadian Army’s force-on-force training realism and feedback while reducing training costs.”

Combined, Cubic’s solutions deliver one of the most advanced live training capabilities in North America.
The original CWES contract was awarded to Cubic in February 2003 and modified multiple times to enhance capabilities to simulate contemporary weapons and their effects during force-on-force field training exercises. CWES enables soldiers to train the way they fight during combat operations and provides solutions that enhance a Commander’s after-action reviews in evaluating their tactics, techniques, and procedures.
