Alion Science and Technology announced today that the company has been awarded a $48.6 million task order by the U.S. Air Force Installation Contracting Agency (AFICA), under the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Information Analysis Center (IAC) Multi-Award Contract (MAC). The 48-month prime award provides research, development, and engineering solutions for Department of Defense (DoD) ordnance challenges and supports development of methodologies and capabilities to enhance AFRL/RWM research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) capabilities. The majority of work will be performed at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

Alion’s team of engineers, scientists, and architects along with university professors, will provide research and development (R&D) of damage mechanisms including reactive materials, formulation and manufacturing of traditional engineering materials and ordnance design to exploit energetics, fuzing and structural components. Tasks include research and development of High explosive energetic materials from concept formulation through pilot plant production for transition into existing/future inventory weapon systems; systems and technology to achieve optimum warhead burst point for weapons used against both airborne and surface target; technologies to enable fuzing of current and future weapon systems; assessment of the performance and effectiveness of conventional inventory and conceptual weapon systems; and detonation and reaction processes for the formation of damage mechanisms to ordnance system survivability and end-game performance.
“This program expands our 25-year history providing engineering services, research, and prototyping to the munitions community at AFRL and the AFLCMC Air Armaments Directorate,” said Alan Dietrich, Senior Vice President of Alion. “Our team stands ready to enhance the development of lethal Air Force munitions capabilities as these technologies are transitioned to all phases of development and production.”
