Alion supports USN ISR
The US Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) has awarded a contract to Alion Science and Technology to support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) technologies, the company announced on 23 September. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract is valued at $49 million.
Under the contract, the company will provide rapid design, engineering, fabrication and testing of ISR components and systems which meet the Department of Defense's Technology Readiness Level 6.
Systems and components included cover four technology areas: mobile signals intelligence (SIGINT), processing exploitation and dissemination (PED), sensitive site exploitation and persistent surveillance systems.
Chris Amos, senior vice president and manager, Technology Solutions Group, Alion, said: ‘We are dedicated to NSWC Crane’s implementation of ISR systems that better equip the navy for tomorrow’s battle.
'Under this contract, we can help enhance systems, build software-defined radios and develop effective sensors to support the effort. We’ll also produce models and short runs of actual products in each of the technology areas, giving warfighters the ability to evaluate working components and systems, quickly and cost-effectively.’
