Target Location System Performs in Rain, Smoke, Haze, and Combat Scenarios

A combat identification system developed by Cubic Defense Applications, the defense systems business of Cubic Corporation, was successfully tested during a recent U.S. and Coalition forces assessment of technologies designed to reduce “friendly fire” casualties and increase situational awareness. Cubic's DCID-TALON, an acronym for Dismounted Combat ID with Target Location & Navigation, went through a number of tough tests to demonstrate its capabilities. The multifunction technology was tested in sun, rain, smoke, haze, through trees and windows and at a distance. It was tested on moving soldiers who were walking, riding in vehicles, and engaging in simulated dry-fire and live-fire combat scenarios.
