The corrected release reads:
ALION AWARDED $7M CONTRACT TO PROVIDE RADIO FREQUENCY ENGINEERING
SERVICES AT NOAA
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS COMPANY TO PROVIDE WIRELESS SPECTRUM EXPERTISE
IN SUPPORT OF AGENCY’S GROUND AND SATELLITE
SYSTEMS
Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned technology solutions
provider, has been awarded a $7 million contract to perform a wide range
of radio frequency (RF) spectrum services at the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The three-year contract was awarded by the Defense Technical Information
Center through the Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center
(MSIAC). Under the contract statement of work, any NOAA office can
utilize Alion’s expertise in RF propagation,
satellite orbital dynamics, RF spectrum management, RF systems testing
and specifications, antenna siting and analysis, and other areas that
support RF.
The contract, which is a follow-on to one-year contracts awarded in 2006
and 2007, gives NOAA offices the ability to obtain RF services from
Alion to analyze radiation hazards, if any, from NOAA transmitters as
well as identify the effects that various buildings and obstructions may
have on NOAA transmitters and receivers.
“We are excited to be supporting NOAA with its
radio frequency spectrum needs,” said Lt. Gen.
Walter “Buck”
Buchanan III (USAF, Ret.), Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of
the Engineering and Information Technology Sector. “Alion
brings its engineering expertise in RF propagation, orbital dynamics,
Earth station analysis and RF system optimization for improved RF
performance. We also provide interference analysis to prevent the
interruption of satellite data reception and a Quick Reaction Capability
(QRC) to provide immediate response to satellite data disruption with
the delivery of solutions as quickly as possible.”
Previous projects under this NOAA statement of work have provided
antenna siting analysis and RF studies to locate a new Earth station in
the Arctic region and to locate and resolve interference to NOAA
satellites from transmitters in the Andean mountains of Ecuador. Also,
Alion has produced unique documentation of RF systems that NOAA
technicians use for repair and maintenance of large parabolic dish
antennas in Fairbanks, AK, Wallops, VA, and the NOAA Satellite
Operations Facility in Suitland, MD.
