Alion to Help Air Force Detect Nukes
Alion won a $6.8 million Air Force contract to, according to the firm, “research and develop a complete modeling and simulation environment for the employment of sensors and sensor system technologies that will be used to detect radiological and nuclear threats.”
“Alion’s examination and development of critical nuclear detection simulation capabilities will enable DTRA to determine which WMD detection sensors and sensor technologies to deploy to give warfighters the best first line of defense against threats to our nation’s security, ” said Sue Archer, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of the Operational Solutions Group. “Using a realistic operational environment with scientifically accurate models created by Alion, DTRA will be able to determine where to apply research and development dollars to obtain the best investment and to set transition paths for innovative detection approaches.”
