Both companies specialize in the development of search and rescue equipment for military and civil applications. Signature Industries, through its SARBE unit, has been supplying rugged search and rescue beacons to the armed forces of more than 40 countries for over 50 years.

The company has a reputation synonymous with high-performance products and committed service. The G2R, launched at last year's Paris Airshow, uses the COSPAS/SARSAT and GPS satellite constellations and incorporates the latest electronic technology required for a military combat emergency recovery operation.

Brian Clayton, Director & General Manager of SARBE commented, "This agreement is one of the most significant milestones in the distinguished history of SARBE and is the start of a long-term cooperation between the two companies."

"Cubic's expertise in military data communications technology, combined with our strength as the world's preferred military rescue beacon, gives a truly symbiotic relationship that NATO and other forces can benefit from."

Craig Campbell, Cubic's Avionics Director commented, "A partnership agreement with a technically innovative company like SARBE will be extremely beneficial to both parties and the addition of SARBE G2R compatibility to the PLS will lead to a substantially improved product profile for our important customer base."
