Alion-Operated Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center Wins Task Order Worth $1.9M from Air National Guard

MCLEAN, Va. --(Business Wire)--

The Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center (MSIAC), operated by Alion Science and Technology, was awarded a task order valued at $1.9 million to provide modeling and simulation (M&S) support to manage the Air National Guard's Expert Common Immersive Theater Environment (XCITE) software.


The XCITE software powers the Air National Guard's Distributed Training Operations Center (DTOC), providing realistic, interactive theater training environments for aircrew members and soldiers. MSIAC will evaluate XCITE and deliver a new operational version that provides higher levels of environment and threat replication. The work will include software development, configuration management, standards compliance and validation/verification.

"Operational demands have increased dramatically for the Air National Guard's DTOC, and Alion is pleased to support the improvement of the training experience with enhanced software," said Dick Brooks, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager for its Distributed Simulation Group. "MSIAC's work will deliver sophisticated software that incorporates the most current environment generation and threat presentation to deliver the training situations that imitate real-war environments."

The period of performance runs through September 11, 2011.

The Alion-operated MSIAC, the U.S. Department of Defense's center for integrated support of the M&S community, provides broad support for M&S programs throughout the government. In addition, M&S University®, developed by Alion for the MSIAC, provides training on using M&S to make training, acquisition, logistics and experimentation more effective.
