WASHINGTON, D.C., July 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Alion Science and Technology, a global industry leader in the design and delivery of complex engineering solutions for Defense and Intelligence agencies, announced today that its newly developed Resilient Command, Control, and Communications Integrated Solution (RC3IS) was selected from over 300 candidate entries to participate in the AFWERX FUSION Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) Showcase. The RC3IS was selected during the MDO Challenge in June and has been invited to participate in the Showcase of 100 candidates. The AFWERX FUSION XPERIENCE Showcase takes place from July 23 – 24, 2019 at the Enclave in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The RC3IS was developed and integrated through a consortium approach, leveraging the talents of numerous expert companies in command and control. RC3IS is a flexible, inter-operable C2 solution intended for use in integrating the command and coordination of multi-domain components, and enables rapid and accurate decisions for execution in a dynamic battlespace. The solution is a self-contained product that leverages both open and industry standards for application integration and datalink interoperability within a compact form factor. RC3IS can be deployed onto any physical or virtual platform to meet mobility or resiliency requirements.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase our RC3IS solution and how it can contribute to the innovative solutions our Air Force is looking to provide to our coalition allies for its core foundation now, and into the future,” said Alan Dietrich, Alion Senior Vice President and General Manager. “We look forward to the Showcase and in addition to the following round of demonstrations this fall.”
