Alion to Demo in Future of Wargaming Showcase

Alion Science and Technology has been selected to demonstrate its “Virtual Sandbox” technology at the United States Air Force Future of Wargaming Showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada, from February 25 – 26, 2020. Alion was one of 24 companies selected to participate from 78 submissions. Demonstrations will be presented to AFWERX, U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Joint Forces.

Virtual Sandbox is a mixed-reality (MR) tactical wargamingsystem. This product, along with the Navy Continuous Training Environment,managed and operated by Alion, will support development of the cloud-based,DevSecOps driven, wargaming Novel Distributed Integrated Concept Environment(NoDICE). The Alion solution creates live virtual simulations for wargaming byintegrating with numerous data sets, including: Radio Frequency; Intelligence,Surveillance, and Reconnaissance; Full Motion Video; and Live, Virtual, andConstructive. The team has integrated Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality(VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable real world experiences fromthe users/operators as well as real time model development. The architectureenables rapid integration of commercially developed capabilities.

“Alion’s solution for wargaming aligns to the DoD’sDevSecOps Reference Design while pulling in lessons learned from the DoD’s BigData Platform (BDP) and the Navy Continuous Training Environment,” said AlionSenior Vice President of Cyber Network Solutions Katie Selbe. “Alion pairsoff-the-shelf technology from the government and commercial sectors with OpenSource Software to take advantage of innovations and best practices forwargaming. This has allowed the team to rapidly create 2D, 3D, AR, VR, andother solutions for wargaming and training.”
