Cubic Corporation announced that its Cubic Mission and Performance Systems (CMPS) division manufactured and shipped its 100,000th rugged compute and networking module to a U.S. defense customer in 2021. This important milestone demonstrates the trust that defense, first responders, and aid agency customers have in Cubic's modular compute and networking platforms. The M3-SE and M3X platforms have been designed from the ground up in collaboration with customers to meet demanding user requirements and operations in a wide range of austere environments. The M3X and M3-SE platforms' chassis-less and modular design means users can choose from a wide range of interchangeable computing, switching, routing, and battery-backed power modules to meet specific mission requirements.

This unique approach delivers excellent system scalability and flexibility and maximizes the user's investment. The M3-SE is an enterprise-class compute and networking platform that delivers powerful modular Intel processing, Cisco networking, and large-capacity storage to the tactical edge. Ideal for command post locations requiring multiple advanced applications and many users, the M3-SE has been designed to meet growing mission requirements with performance usually available only with larger 19-inch rack servers.

Low power, high performance profiles coupled with hyperconverged infrastructure support ensure the M3-SE delivers unrivaled capabilities in a small form factor. The M3X is an expeditionary computing and networking platform that delivers powerful ruggedized Intel Xeon processing, Cisco networking, and storage to the tactical edge. Ideal for battalions and small teams, its chassis-less design and patented Raised Angle Connector for power and data reduce weight while increasing system modularity.

Low power-to-performance ratios, integrated battery backup, and hardened aluminum case provide unrivaled capabilities for tactical and commercial customers operating in the harshest environments. The modules can be quickly and easily configured for deployment through Cubic's DVICE software and support open management protocols, including SNMPv3, for integration into third-party management systems.
