Alion to Help Manage, Develop and Integrate Modeling and Simulation Capabilities

• Technology Solutions Company Continues Support of Modeling, Analysis and Project Management for Army Modeling and Simulation Office

(McLean, VA., September 8, 2010) -- Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned engineering, R&D, IT and operational solutions company, is continuing their support to the Army Modeling and Simulation Office (AMSO) under a $3.6 million task order. The contract enables AMSO to leverage Alion's expertise in support of its oversight role for managing modeling and simulation (M&S) processes throughout the Army.

As part of this ongoing effort, Alion will provide subject matter expertise and services to support AMSO and the Modeling and Simulation Proponent Office's mission to train and supply qualified M&S professionals to the Army, recruit and manage the M&S community to best meet the Army's warfighting needs and to create a fully trained Army M&S community. Alion personnel will also analyze technical requirements and conduct staff-level research.

"With the Army's increasing focus on using M&S for decision support, mission planning, training and more, it's essential that they have the tools and capability to effectively introduce and manage relevant processes," said Timer Keenan, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of the Strategic Operations Group. "Alion's continuing support of M&S integration will help move AMSO closer to its goals of extending M&S resources throughout the Army."
