SAN DIEGO, Calif.: Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB) announced today it has won an additional $4.2 million follow on order with an existing Middle East customer. Cubic currently provides comprehensive marksmanship and small arms training capabilities using the immersive training Engagement Skills Trainer (EST) to this customer.
