Alion wins spectrum support contract
Alion Science and Technology has been awarded a contract by the US Army Spectrum Management Office (ASMO) to perform work in support of protecting the army's use of spectrum, the company announced on 30 November.
Under the contract, valued at $25 million, the company will provide engineering assessments, research, and analysis to ensure uninterrupted operation of all current and future RF spectrum-dependent systems for ASMO customers and programmes. This will help ensure that the army’s spectrum requirements are supportable to conduct combat operations, training, and daily mission requirements globally.
Alion’s analysis will also help in responding to Department of Defense challenges arising from the ongoing implementation of the US National Broadband Policy.
Chris Amos, senior vice president and manager, technology solutions group, Alion, said: ‘As the army moves to support the president’s initiative to expand our nation’s leadership in wireless innovation, Alion’s expert spectrum research and analysis will help ensure reliable, advanced capabilities.
'Our five decades of experience in wireless communications will help support the uninterrupted operation of army systems with concurrent commercial use while equipping senior army leaders with the necessary, credible justification for congressional testimony to protect RF spectrum-dependent systems.’
