10 Jan 18. Cubic to expand in India. Cubic Corporation, a specialist in military simulation and C4ISR systems, announced on 9 January that it is planning to expand its operations in Hyderabad, India, to boost the company’s growth objectives in the Asia-Pacific.
Cubic said its move to a larger facility is primarily intended to support its transportation business but that the expansion, which includes doubling its employees in Hyderabad to around 140 people, will also benefit the company’s efforts to pursue new regional opportunities in defence. The group operates three divisions, with two (simulation and C4ISR) focused on defence and the other on transportation. “[The] Asia-Pacific region continues to be a market of opportunity across our three business divisions at Cubic,” said Bradley Feldmann, Cubic’s president and chief executive officer.

09 Jan 18. Chinese navy eyeing Pakistan as location for second overseas base, says report. The Chinese navy is considering plans to use Pakistan as the location for its second overseas naval support facility, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post (SCMP) newspaper reported on 5 January. The new facility is likely to be set up near the Pakistani port of Gwadar in southwestern Balochistan, according to the paper. “China needs to set up another base in Gwadar for its warships because Gwadar is now a civilian port,” Beijing-based military analyst Zhou Chenming was quoted by the SCMP as saying, adding that it is common practice to have separate facilities for warships and merchant vessels because of their different operations.
