Cubic GATR facility expands in Research Park

Cubic GATR has now doubled the size of its original facility, meaning new jobs are on the way.

The company merged their operations from two different location to one 100,000 square foot facility in Research Park.

At the Huntsville facility, the company manufactures its GATR satellite systems.

The satellite resembles a large beach ball and inflates in about 15 minutes.

The satellites are sent out to areas of natural disasters and battlefields to collect information and data.

With the facility expansion, around 70 to 80 new jobs are expected to come to Huntsville.
