Cubic Global Tracking Solutions, the asset tracking and monitoring division of Cubic, announced that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted the use of Cubic's tracking and asset management devices by airline operators based on the company's documentation and testing.

According to a release, the specific devices the FAA has reviewed report and test data for and will allow on board an aircraft include the Cubic Global Tracking Solutions Global Sentinel GS-5L and GS-5B, and the RSU-3 device, which is commercially known as a Mesh Asset Tag (MAT). By having the FAA review these devices, airline operators may now use the Cubic Global Tracking devices during air flights.

"Devices that help ensure efficient and secure movement of cargo in both passenger and cargo aircraft operations are critical to global commerce, airline carriers and public safety," said Mary Ann Wagner, president of Cubic Global Tracking Solutions. "Our technology can now be applied for interoperability across all transportation modes, encompassing land, sea and air, for end-to-end real-time asset visibility and intrusion detection."
