The company will evaluate a broad spectrum of armament systems, munitions, ancillary equipment and enabling technologies during design, development and production phases of the engineering lifecycle.
Specifically, Alion engineers and analysts will provide technical systems research and development, engineering, evaluation and programme and acquisition planning and management, in support of improvised explosive device (IED) neutralisation, green ammunition, as well as ammunition production and safety.
Alion Technology solutions group senior vice-president and manager Chris Amos said threats to US soldiers are constantly evolving, and hence staying ahead of that trend is crucial to providing them the means to complete their missions while increasing their survivability.
