ISR Systems will further expand Cubic Mission Solutions' (CMS) portfolio of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) solutions for secure and expeditionary communications and ISR processing, exploitation and dissemination.

"The acquisition of Shield Aviation's unique medium-altitude autonomous aircraft solution expands our CMS offerings and strengthens our business in this area," said Bradley H.
