The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency is to receive exercise training support services from a business unit of the Cubic Corporation. The training exercises will center on chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives, or CBRNE. "Cubic is excited to partner with DTRA to employ effective CBRNE exercise, training, capability assessment, and development support services to mitigate threats and keep warfighters and citizens safe," said Bill Toti, president of Cubic's Mission Support Services. "This is an important mission executed by dedicated personnel in every corner of the globe who are passionate about their work." Cubic Corporation said the DTRA contract to its Mission Support Services unit is a single indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award with a value of $500 million.
