$7 million research and development contract

Alion Science and Technology has been awarded a $7 million research and development contract to assist the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWC TSD) in solving several challenges associated with stimulating airborne Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) platforms and training environments.


Under the Improved Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) Integration research program, Alion will develop prototype computer interface technologies – known as Live Platform Integration -- for surface ship, submarine and aircraft platforms. The research will produce alternative methods for synthetic threat scenarios to be injected into Warfighters’ sensor and combat systems to improve training. Alion will assist NAWC TSD with virtual training technology integration and the development of advanced constructive technologies. Headquartered in Orlando, Fla., NAWC TSD is a component of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division and Naval Air Systems Command. The division is the Navy’s principal source for a full range of training products and services, including requirements analysis, design, development and full life cycle support.
