MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 18 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy has contracted Alion Science and Technology to support the Naval Operational Logistics Support Center.
Virginia-based Alion was awarded a three-year, $12 million contract from the Navy. Under the deal, Alion will provide operational logistics to help the Naval Operational Logistics Support Center to standardize operations for the supply chain, provide strategic mobility analysis and support training initiatives, among other requirements.
Officials say Alion's support for the Naval Operational Logistics Support Center will aid operations for deployable units in the Navy and Coast Guard.
"Improvements in logistics operations have a direct effect on costs and time," Greg Bryant, Alion senior vice president and manager of the integration solutions group, said in a statement.
"Our experts will be working to optimize supply chain operations, strategic mobility, manning and training, and will also apply automated information technology into logistics processes, all of which will help the Navy make these functions more efficient and streamlined."
