McLean, Virginia, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alion Science and Technology, headquartered in McLean, Va., is excited to announce the creation of a System Sustainment Center supporting the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) – Crane Division. By combining its current facilities footprint in Odon, IN, Alion has created a 57,000 sq. ft. campus that provides research, development, production, and sustainment of advanced weapons systems, soldier-carried systems, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. 

Alion’s WestGate facilities recently obtained ISO:9001 and AS9100 certifications and house a series of laboratories for design and integration of hardware, firmware and software for secure RADAR, EW, Communications and Processing Systems. Alion recently added a complete prototyping/fabrication capability and an on-site light electronics and cable assembly laboratory to reduce schedule dependencies. Alion is also adapting new technology, like Artificial Intelligence, to solve challenging problems including cyber-resilient mission processors and autonomous system payloads.
