MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 1 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has contracted Alion Science and Technology to provide computer-based anti-submarine warfare training technologies.
U.S. company Alion was awarded $37.93 million to supply the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division in Orlando, Fla., with ASW computer training systems for the Navy's SH-60B Seahawk and SH-60F Oceanhawk multi-mission helicopters.
Under the five-year mission rehearsal tactical team trainer deal, Alion will provide upgrades and other support for realistic simulated training capability.
"Alion has been involved with computer-based ASW tactical team training since the inception of mission rehearsal tactical team trainer in 2002," Dick Brooks, Alion distributed simulation group senior vice president and manager, said in a statement.
"This vehicle will allow us to continue providing portable, high-fidelity training solutions to the war fighters, allowing them to train as they would fight in an operationally relevant synthetic battle-space."
