Alion Science & Technology has acquired substantially all of the assets of LogConGroup, a logistics technology and total asset visibility management company.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

LogConGroup focuses on providing logistics technologies, program management and the implementation of Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) solutions, including active RFID networking and logistics inventory tracking systems for the US Dept of Defence and commercial business markets.

According to Rick Meidenbauer, Alion Spectrum Engineering Group manage, the acquisition will enable Alion to extend its capabilities and presence in the high-value asset and identification and tracking market.

“Our RFID, sensor and wireless capabilities are well-established, so this is a logical step for Alion,” said Meidenbauer. “LogConGroup’s capabilities to track Class V munitions and other high-value military and commercial assets mesh well with ours, so we can support and help expand their current work with the resources of a much larger technology innovator.”
