Alion will help the Air Force Spectrum Management Office conduct strategic planning and policy recommendations, satellite coordination, spectrum reallocation, research and technical analyses of commercial spectrum sharing feasibility, the company said Wednesday.
“Alion will support AFSMO’s mission while enabling the commercial use of additional bandwidth, ensuring that all authorized users have the access they need while preventing interference,” said Chris Amos, senior vice president and manager of the technology solutions group at Alion.
