For advanced warfighter training, Alion’s focus will be on the development and integration of the NCTE Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) architecture and systems.

The DoD Information Analysis Center Program Management Office (DoD IAC PMO) provided material for the project, which is sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).

The company’s contract has a performance period of 48 months.

Operating as a part of Defense Technical Information Center, the DoD IAC programme provides technical data management and research support for DoD and federal government users.

It also serves the DoD Science & Technology (S&T) to drive technological developments.

In October 2018, Alion won a multiple-award contract (MAC) worth $794m from the US Department of Navy, Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Newport, Rhode Island for the development, construction and support of the unmanned undersea vehicle family of systems.
