Allen-Vanguard has delivered its latest RF decoy product, TURMOIL, to a NATO nation ahead of schedule.
TURMOIL is an Electromagnetic Countermeasure (ECM) designed to provide a tactical advantage against adversaries employing Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) capabilities. The system generates false targets by accurately emulating friendly force RF signatures and increasing electromagnetic activity to distract, disrupt, and deceive during the enemy’s targeting phase. TURMOIL supports freedom of manoeuvre within the electromagnetic spectrum and creates opportunities for formations to conduct surprise offensive operations.
Allen-Vanguard is traditionally known for its RF detection and defeat capabilities, particularly against Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) threats posed by terrorists and extremist actors. With expertise across the CEMA domain, the company has rapidly developed this disruptive technology to meet a specific market demand and customer requirement.
This marks a strategic shift for Allen-Vanguard into broader EW activities, and the team is encouraged by the potential emerging within the evolving Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) landscape.
Bobby Strawbridge, President of Allen-Vanguard said, “It is an exciting period for Allen-Vanguard as we harness the vast technical experience and expertise we possess in the company to meet the CEMA demands of the modern battlefield. I am extremely pleased that Allen-Vanguard has entered the EW arena with this new product, not only because it meets a customer’s specific requirements but it clearly demonstrates how we at Allen-Vanguard can quickly and effectively apply our existing knowledge and skills to deliver success in new areas of operation.”
Due to the sensitive nature of the technology and its potential roles, Allen-Vanguard has been unable to disclose more specific details.
