Alion Science and Technology won a $3 million contract from the U.S. Army to provide spectrum management and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) analysis that will allow the Army to test and provide training for the new radar systems it is developing.  The ground-based and airborne radar and combat identification (ID) systems are being designed to give warfighters the best target tracking, aircraft surveillance, perimeter protection and superior technologies to identify friendly forces from foes.

Under the three-year contract, Alion will support the Radar and Combat Identification Division of the Army Research Development Engineering Command, Communications-Electronic Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate, and its customers by performing EMC analyses on multiple systems to gain spectrum certification for radar and combat ID systems. 

Alion will also provide technical details to the Army Spectrum Management Office on all developments in the radar and combat ID programs.
