The long GRB 180618B (INTEGRAL SPI-ACS trigger #8079;
Konus-Wind trigger time on 22:40:26.066)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM)
at 22:40:18.199 UTC on 18 June 2018.  The burst signal
was clearly seen by the SGM instrument.  There is a hint
of the emission seen by the HXM instrument.

The burst light curve shows a single FRED-like pulse which starts
at T-3.8 sec, peaks at T-1.5 sec and ends at T+15.4 sec.
The T90 and the T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
17 +- 4 sec and 5.3 +- 0.5 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at
