SPX Communication Technologies will be showcasing several capabilities and solutions at Security & Policing 2025, including:

Tactical Data Links
Data Links provide real-time intelligence-gathering across land, sea, air for advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and incident response. The Evenlode Video and Audio Encoder / Decoder delivers improved low-latency, long-range, high-definition video and audio transfer for faster and more accurate intelligence-gathering. It supplies high-efficiency video coding and low-latency encoding to deliver superior multivideo compression for efficient video recording and real-time, secure distribution. Latency below 120 milliseconds end-to-end enables even greater situational awareness, and more accurate, faster response for security and emergency services teams.

COMINT

COMINT Radio Frequency (RF) Receivers allow superior identification, direction-finding, and tracking of hostile RF signals. The 953 COMINT RF Receiver is portable for dismounted operations and easily mounted on a vehicle to support mobility operations. For example, it can be carried to an elevated position in a dismounted role, such as a tactical position only accessible on foot or on top of a high-rise building, to ensure the antenna is situated at height for optimum signal detection and increased range.

Counter-UAS
The BLACKTALON Ecosystem is a scalable Counter-UAS solution that detects, tracks and defeats UAS engaged in hostile activity or surveillance by a nuisance drone enthusiast, insurgents or state actors. It provides comprehensive situational awareness and mitigation as a standalone or networked capability, as a multi-layered Counter-UAS, or as a component of a ground-based air defence (GBAD) system.

It integrates SPX Communication Technologies’ BLACKTALON Counter-UAS technology and decades of expertise in the space with a vendor-agnostic framework, an approach that ensures solutions can meet every team’s unique requirements. Security forces therefore gain from a tailored approach to their specific concept of operations, threats, user groups, existing capabilities and budgets.

SPX Communication Technologies is an SPX Technologies platform which specialises in RF technologies within three capability areas: Spectrum Battlespace, Spectrum Monitoring & Management Services and Tactical Data Links, to create a Communications Technology business within SPX.

The SPX Communication Technologies platform continues to mature its capabilities with the TCI and ECS product range to address customer problems and evolving threats within the RF spectrum. Together the two brands under the SPX Communication Technologies umbrella design and manufacture highly engineered Tactical Communication Intelligence, Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) & Counter Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (C-RCIED) Inhibitors. This provides RF detection, measurement and location capabilities that support Governments with frequency regulation and Tactical Data links for video and data distribution.
