Alion gets $2M Navy order
Washington Business Journal - by Darlene Darcy Staff Reporter
Alion Science and Technology secured a $2 million task order from the Navy’s Advanced Materials, Manufacturing and Testing Information Analysis Center to test and evaluate the effects of shocks and vibrations from underwater explosions on Navy ships.
Under the three-year contract, McLean-based Alion will provide technical support to meet and enforce the shock and vibration design requirements of Naval ship construction projects at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, including DDG 1000.
DDG 1000 refers to the first craft in a class of “multi-mission surface combatants” for coastal, air and underwater warfare.
“Alion’s subject matter expertise and test capabilities will assist NSWC [Naval Surface Warfare Center] to support the DDG 1000 program within budget and on schedule, helping to make the new DDG 1000 ship an affordable, survivable and critical asset to the nation’s defense systems,” Kevin Lees, a senior vice president for Alion, said in a statement.
“Modeling and simulation and engineering support will predict response to shock and vibration environments, including shock that comes from an underwater explosion or mine, to enable the warfighter to be stronger and more secure,” he said.
