Abstract: In this paper we determine all fusions of the association scheme $mathcalAotimesmathcalA$, where $mathcalA$ is the symmetric rank $3$ association scheme corresponding to a strongly regular graph. This includes both guaranteed fusions, which are fusions for all symmetric rank $3$ association schemes $mathcalA$, and specific case fusions, which only exist under restrictions on the parameters of the association scheme. Along the way we will determine the fusions of wreath products of strongly regular graphs and the fusions of the tensor square of a symmetric rank $3$ table algebra. This extends recent work of the authors and Meagher, which solved the same problem for the generalized Hamming scheme $H(2,mathcalA)$ of the association scheme obtained from a strongly regular graph. The main results of this article show (1) the families of strongly regular graphs for which $mathcalAotimesmathcalA$ has a special case fusion are the same families for which $H(2,mathcalA)$ has a special case fusion; and (2) the imprimitive strongly regular graphs are the only family of strongly regular graphs for which the wreath product $mathcalAwrmathcalA$ has a special case fusion.
