Alion Receives $3.1M Army Battle Command Support Services Task Order

The LandWarNet program promotes a standardized set of Warfighter capabilities across the Army’s computer networks and enterprise processes. To assist this effort, Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned technology solutions company, was awarded a $3.1 million task order to provide the Army with technical engineering support to help evolve the future LandWarNet concepts and enabling capabilities.

Alion will provide services and subject matter expertise to the Army LandWarNet and Battle Command Directorate (LWN/BC) to help the Army DCS G-3/5/7 prioritize, integrate, migrate and synchronize land war net and battle command capabilities across the entire Army enterprise. The services include analysis, technical support, project management, configuration management, quality assurance and staff level research. Alion’s work will support strategic planning, system of systems analysis and programming efforts for the directorate.

LandWarNet is the Army’s program of record that consists of globally interconnected networks that connect to the Department of Defense’s Global Information Grid. The program also integrates battle command processes.

“The quality of the information available to decision makers is absolutely critical to the success of any mission,” said Timer Keenan, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of the Strategic Operations Group. “Alion will help the LandWarNet and Battle Command Directorate prioritize and assess architectures, make material fielding strategy improvements, optimize fiscal resources to support capability synchronization and provide program management recommendations.”

The task order, awarded off of the Battle Command Support Services contract vehicle, runs for three years. It expires on July 31, 2012.
