To promote better emergency response capabilities on Air Force bases and to help reduce emergency response system support and maintenance costs, Alion Science and Technology, a global engineering, R&D, IT and operational solutions company, is migrating critical systems that provide updates to base commanders, emergency managers and first responders to a service-oriented architecture (SOA), under a recent $4.5 million task order win.

Alion will enhance the Air Force’s Installation Command and Control (IC2) system responsible for providing vital information to decision-makers on incidents, utilizing a common operational picture. The major thrust of the enhanced IC2 project will be to transition the Integrated Information Management System (IIMS), an incident management system that offers a situational awareness map to the Unit Level/Unit Command and Control (UL/UC2) program of record, into a validated SOA application.

“By migrating IIMS to a SOA, we can make the incident management and IC2 systems more agile, to facilitate the Air Force’s command and control common operational framework,” said Chris Amos, Senior Vice President and Manager of Alion’s Technology Solutions Group. “The result will be a significant cost savings to the Air Force and better-prepared decision-makers.”

Alion’s work will include designing, developing, coding, demonstrating, testing and documenting software in support of Air Force IC2 requirements. The new IC2 system code will support the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s Global Strike concept of operations by adding sensor management, communications management and sensor fusion capabilities.

The period of performance runs through September 27, 2014.
