MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has contracted Alion Science and Technology to develop a new torpedo threat detection technology to help protect surface ships.
U.S. company Alion was awarded the task order to support the Naval Sea Systems Undersea Defensive Warfare Systems Program Office. Under the $48.5 million deal, awarded as part of the SeaPort-enhanced contract vehicle, Alion will research and develop a new torpedo detection system.
The task order follows a successful demonstration of Alion's Torpedo Detection, Classification and Localization technology and is an effort to help the Navy improve surface ship torpedo defense.
"As other countries increase their submarine forces, the threat of torpedoes to Navy vessels also increases," John Waickwicz, Alion senior vice president and manager of the Engineering Technology Center Group, said in a statement.
"Continued at-sea testing is intended to demonstrate that Anti-Torpedo Torpedo Defensive System will reliably detect and counter incoming torpedo threats, protecting Navy ships and the lives of personnel aboard."
