Allen-Vanguard is launching its next-generation core technology at IDEX 2025. As modern battlefield threats evolve, Allen-Vanguard is responding by launching the cornerstone of their latest RF multi-function CEMA platform that provides the necessary flexibility and adaptability for front-line troops to quickly and easily dominate the CEMA space; a capability that is particularly important when providing security in the Middle East.

Allen-Vanguard is very excited to announce at IDEX 2025, the advanced core that will underpin its next-generation family of multi-function CEMA platforms. This new capability leverages the very latest in analogue signal processing technology and is the culmination of significant strategic investment and massive engineering development that the company has placed in its future program of systems, the ‘NXT’ family. This technology delivers a highly integrated mixed-signal front-end technology, combined with enhanced RF processing power to deliver increased flexibility and improved detect and defeat capability for the end user. This new technology enables direct RF sampling, without the use of tuners, across the entire RF spectrum used by UAS and RCIED devices. Allen-Vanguard has engaged best-in-class experts to collaborate on this exciting new project which enables this new more powerful software-defined radio (SDR) platform to form the core of their new products and help dominate the EW space. The new platform comprises of an RF System on Module (SOM) and a customisable product-specific application interface card which means users can detect, protect and defeat a wider range of threats from each system.

Bobby Strawbridge, President of Allen-Vanguard said: “The Middle East has been a core market for Allen-Vanguard for a long time, and we have used our experience gained from supporting our clients in the region to help design and develop this new technology. Not only is it exciting from an engineering perspective and enables the EW capabilities that our customers demand, but it also should be of interest to any OEM in the EW sector. This card delivers best of breed metrics in a small, customisable footprint at a fraction of the price of standardised formats. I am very grateful to our partners and our in-house design team, who together, have pushed the boundaries of what is possible in the CEMA space.”
