 Alion Science and Technology is providing simulation tools to the Army and serving as an integrator between the Generating and Operational Forces under a one-year, $1.1 million contract through the Army's Joint Training Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) Operations Integration Center (JTCOIC).

The focus of Alion's work is to train warfighters in counter IED techniques.

Essentially, the program is training soldiers to identify, react and respond to IEDs.

Alion, as a subcontractor to BAE Systems, runs the Systems Integration Modeling and Simulations (SIMS) Directorate within JTCOIC, which provides animated simulations of actual IED events in four days or less by using a variety of terrain and analytical tools, physics-based constructive simulations and gaming software.

"The goal of this program is to give deploying soldiers a realistic view of the current situation in the field," said Dick Brooks, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of the Distributed Simulation Group.

"In just a few days, we translate actual battlefield information into video simulations for classroom and field training. The videos provide accurate re-creations of the enemy's most recent tactics as well as how our forces responded, which can benefit both soldiers and commanders. This program helps soldiers train with the latest information, which makes the training more relevant to current field conditions."
