Alion has been awarded a $25 million Army contract for radio spectrum protection.

Under the contract with the Army Spectrum Management Office (ASMO), Alion will “ensure the Army’s compliance with federal spectrum regulations and presidential direction while protecting wireless communications from interference,” according to a company announcement. Alion will assist the Department of Defense in meeting the National Broadband Policy.

“As the Army moves to support the president’s initiative to expand our nation’s leadership in wireless innovation, Alion’s expert spectrum research and analysis will help ensure reliable, advanced capabilities,” said Alion senior vice president Chris Amos.
