March 10, 2025

Allen-Vanguard Ltd., located in Ottawa, unveils advancements to its RF multi-function cyber and electromagnetic activities (CEMA) system on module designed to combat RF-enabled threats such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and improvised explosives.

The upgraded CEMA electronic system-on-module utilizes cutting-edge analog signal processing technology for electronic warfare (EW). This advancement is part of Allen-Vanguard’s future systems program, known as the NXT family, and enhances the capability to detect and neutralize RF threats effectively through its sophisticated mixed-signal front-end technology.

Direct RF Sampling Without Tuners

This innovative system allows for direct RF sampling across the RF spectrum without tuners, specifically targeting signals used by hostile UAVs and radio-controlled bombs. Featuring a software-defined radio (SDR) architecture tailored for electronic warfare applications, the system comprises an RF system on module (SOM) along with a customizable application interface card. This setup equips operators to detect, safeguard against, and combat a broad spectrum of threats.
