SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 2, 2003

The Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) has awarded Cubic Defense Applications, part of San Diego-based Cubic Corp. (AMEX:CUB), a contract to complete a state-of-the-art Electronic Warfare (EW) simulator known as the High Density Signal Simulator (HIDESS).

HIDESS will allow the RDAF to accurately test advanced radar warning receivers and other EW equipment by providing realistic threat signals and scenarios. The system allows RDAF technicians to program HIDESS to emulate the anticipated EW environment and provide these signals to the system in a dynamic, real-time scenario.

"We are pleased to have been chosen by the Royal Danish Air Force for this important project," said Gerald Dinkel, president and CEO of Cubic Defense Applications. "We look forward to delivering a world-class system and establishing a lasting business relationship with this key customer."

Rick Dickson, director of Southeast Projects for Cubic Defense Applications, said the new HIDESS system is the basis for a family of high performance EW simulators that can replace simulator technology currently available for customers worldwide.

The RDAF HIDESS can emulate standard radar, pulse Doppler or continuous waveform signals, and can provide zero dropout signals for advanced testing. It has four RF channels, extensive Digital and RF capability, Built-In-Test (BIT) and is provided with ESCAPE 2000 simulation-control software in a Pentium-based personal computer system operating on the Windows NT platform.

"HIDESS is a significant step forward for Cubic in continuing to grow in the simulation domain," Dickson said. "We will be better able to replicate the current threats and will be capable of testing the new digital receivers being deployed."

Dickson said the work on the HIDESS contract would be performed at the new Cubic engineering office established in November in Warner Robins, Ga. The system is scheduled for delivery by May 2004.
