MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has contracted Alion Science and Technology to provide the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic with modeling and simulation support.

U.S. company Alion says the modeling and simulation services for the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic will include software development and technical engineering services supporting exercise training and review.

Officials say Alion, as part of the $49 million deal, will also provide "computer-generated forces development, software integration tools, systems integration, and exercise support," a release said.

"Knowledge superiority can make all the difference in preparing for and responding to national security threats," Richard Brooks, Alion senior vice president and manager of the Distributed Simulation Group, said in a statement.

"Simulations and computer-based exercises help decision makers effectively work through their options and possible outcomes without risking lives, equipment and resources. The Alion team is well-positioned to support Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic by helping them use current and emerging modeling and simulation capabilities to the fullest."
