Alion has been awarded a $49 million Navy ISR contract.
The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract calls for Alion to design systems in processing exploitation and dissemination (PED), mobile signals intelligence (SIGINT), sensitive site exploitation and persistent surveillance systems, according to a company news release.
"Under this contract, we can help enhance systems, build software-defined radios and develop effective sensors to support the effort," said Alion vice president Chris Amos. "We'll also produce models and short runs of actual products in each of the technology areas, giving war fighters the ability to evaluate working components and systems, quickly and cost-effectively."
