Alion will support TARDEC’s processes, which include power and mobility, survivability, intelligent ground systems, force projection and system software, as well as vehicle electronics and architecture.
Alion Strategic Operations Group senior vice-president and manager Timer Keenan said improving the safety, versatility, fuel efficiency and effectiveness of ground vehicles was crucial to the success of soldiers in future conflicts.
“We’ll look beyond the usual sources to find solutions. We may incorporate ideas from specialty manufacturers and the motor sports industry, for example, and we can bring in the right partners to help us fully develop those concepts,” he said.
