Alion Science and Technology has been awarded a $3.3 million task order to analyze technical data and emerging technologies for the Joint and Special Operations Program at Navy Crane in Crane, IN.
The Joint and Special Operations Program at Navy Crane develops weapons, munitions, enhanced optics, infrared targeting systems and other technologies in support of the Special Operations warfighter.
Under the three-year program named USSOCOM Navy Crane Engineering (UNCE), Alion will provide engineering analysis of relevant emerging technologies and weapons systems to ensure applicable technologies are quickly implemented to meet end-user requirements.
The objective is to make the best use of technology to maintain and enhance the warfighter's asymmetrical advantage.
The task order was awarded through the Weapon Systems Technology Information Analysis Center (WSTIAC), which is operated by Alion.
"UNCE is giving our warfighters an advantage on the battlefield by developing technologically advanced weapons and equipment," said Chris Amos, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of the Technology Solutions Group.
"Alion is helping Special Operations warfighters resolve engineering challenges and improve current system designs."
