“We will continue to excel the mission of AFSMO by developing tools and providing advanced technologies to address spectrum issues critical to AF spectrum-dependent weapons systems and platforms.”

The task order is part of the Department of Defense Information Analysis Center’s (DoD IAC) multiple-award contract (MAC) vehicle.

The USAF 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron (ESS), part of the US Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC), awards these DoD IAC MAC task orders through a competitive process.

According to the company, it is likely that the reallocation of spectrum from the federal government to commercial services can have a significant impact on the research, development, analysis, and support of weapons systems such as precision-guided munitions, the F-22, joint strike fighter (JSF), and uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) that are dependent on AF spectrum.

In April, Alion secured a five-year task order to provide aircraft and weapons systems research and development (R&D) for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office (JPO).
