The company has so far received nearly $65m under the original agreement, which includes a base-performance year and four option years.
Cubic Defense Systems president Dave Schmitz said: "We are pleased to supply the army with the latest evolutionary advancements in our wireless training solutions, including better training fidelity, improved wireless communications and intuitive interfaces."
A vehicular adaptation of Cubic’s man-worn individual weapons system (IWS 2), I-MILES TVS is designed to provide direct-fire, force-on-force and force-on-target collective training to troops at home stations and manoeuvre combat training centres (CTC).
