Wireless Spectrum Engineering

Alion’s expertise in wireless communication is unrivaled. Our engineers have developed a host of specialized tools for terrain modeling, performance monitoring and antenna location analysis, and our Spectrum XXI technology has become the DoD’s standard for wireless spectrum assignment and management.

Telecommunications Systems
Our telecommunication modeling and simulation capabilities include an analytical test bed servicing commercial wireless network communications, civilian and military radar, and military electronic warfare systems. We have developed specialized models for evaluation of RF propagation, signal processing, antenna performance, and geographical features. More

Spectrum Management
We provide the tools and techniques to optimize how governments, the military and industry use the electromagnetic spectrum. Our solutions have been used at major events, such as the 2002 Winter Olympics. We serve as an advisor to the Defense Spectrum Office, and we support foreign military spectrum management automation in countries like Germany, Australia, and Brazil. Alion maintains one of the largest teams of wireless communication/spectrum management experts in the US. More

Net-centric Operations
Alion is at the forefront of strategies and solutions for the battlefield of the future. We are currently analyzing and designing next generation wireless networks and devices, including frequency and bandwidth-adaptive systems that provide secure, reliable communications under rapidly changing conditions.

Wireless Security and Asset Management Systems
One of today’s most important technologies, supporting everything from military logistics to retail supply chains, radio frequency identification (RFID) asset management is becoming vital to effective, efficient operations. Alion’s solutions can locate, track and classify assets and individuals in a variety of environments, from warehouses and depots to urban centers and open battlefields.

C4ISR System Engineering
Alion delivers C4ISR (Command Control Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) engineering and analysis support for radio frequency communications, supporting military strategies and tactics.

Interference & EM Effects Mitigation
We conduct hundreds of evaluations each year, for the DoD, civilian government, and the avionics and automotive industries. Our interference mitigation expertise extends to DoD E3 Program support as well as technical support to the Navy’s Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) submarine communication system. More
