📋 Tender Overview
Alion Science and Technology announced today that it has been awarded an 87 million task order with a 60-month period of performance to provide Research Development Test and Evaluation RDTE of Vertical Launching System VLS Interface Test Set ITS In-Service Engineering Agent ISEA of the Future and Live Virtual and Constructive LVC Development for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division NSWC PHD. Alion was awarded this contract under the Department of Defense Information Analysis Centers DoD IAC multiple-award contract MAC vehicle. These DoD IAC MAC task orders TOs are awarded by the U.S. Air Forces 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron to develop and create new knowledge for the enhancement of the DTIC repository and the RD and ST community.Alion has a long history of providing research and development to the DoD to enhance and excel warfighting technological advancements. Alions expertise in sensors weapons systems obsolescence redesign and more than 25 years developing and providing live virtual and constructive LVC services make this an outstanding partnership for success said Alan Dietrich Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance ISR Group. Alions rapid prototyping expertise speeds the implementation and deployment of these mission critical systems to improve battlefield situational awareness and weapon systems effectiveness for warfighters.Alions LVC solutions and work with the Navy Continuous Training Environment NCTE network footprint in all Fleet concentration areas provides opportunities to digitally transform Port Huenemes mission into the future said Glenn Goodman Vice President of Operations for Alions Live Virtual and Constructive Solutions Group. Alion will conduct RDTE to enhance capabilities associated with naval surface weapon systems combat systems and sensors and leverage industry capabilities to facilitate rapid design prototyping technological improvements and engineering requirements associated with obsolescence issues. Alion will also provide an efficient and consistent methodology for the advancement of naval weapon systems combat systems associated support systems and equipment and command initiatives including the MK 57 Vertical Launching System VLS MK 41 VLS MK 341 Interface Test Set ITS MK 683 ITS ISEA of the Future campaign and Live Virtual and Constructive LVC development. This task order shall also include the research and analysis of current systems such as the VLS to recommend improvements that streamline architecture while reducing the physical footprint resulting in technological improvements to enhance NSWC PHDs ISEA TE and logistics capabilities.
