Production Balloons for GATR

▤ Summary

— Cubic Corp. announced in mid-January that it has gone to full-rate production on its GATR satellite dish contract for the U.S. Army. The decision means the Army can buy and field more than 800 satellite communication systems. The dishes are made from heavy fabric and inflate like beach balls … very large beach balls, mind you, measuring 1.2 meters (roughly 4 feet) and 2.4 meters (roughly 8 feet) in diameter. Cubic closed its $232.5 million acquisition of Alabama-based GATR Technologies in early 2016. It also provides advanced fare collection systems and other technology for transit operators worldwide.
