Allen-Vanguard secures SCORPION ECM order from NATO ally

Provider of customised solutions for defeating Radio Frequency (RF) based terrorist and extremist threats, Allen-Vanguard, has received a significant follow-on order for SCORPION Electronic Counter Measure (ECM) systems, accessories and spares from the NATO ally it supplied 68 systems to at the beginning of the year.

The follow-on order is for over 30% more of the hugely versatile SCORPION ECM manpack system, which is man portable, can be vehicle mounted or even protect static locations from both R-CIED and UAS threats, both of which have been prolific during recent campaigns in both Europe and the Middle East.

With its flexible, modular architecture and wide range of power options, antenna configurations and carriage systems SCORPION is highly suitable for a myriad of protection tasks. It is a hybrid, full spectrum system with extensive threat band coverage giving it superior usability which, combined with advanced technologies, makes SCORPION a very powerful response to present and future RCIED & Drone threats.

As with the previous order, Allen-Vanguard will provide various support services including Train the Trainer packages to ensure that end users are fully equipped, trained and prepared to deploy this vital life-saving capability with full operational autonomy. In line with Allen-Vanguard’s philosophy of developing a full sovereign capability for their clients, the T3 package will ensure that the end user can train and evaluate their own personnel on the SCORPION hardware both now and into the future.

Allen-Vanguard’s Business Development Director, Stuart Wilson, said: “I think it is testament to both SCORPION’s excellent capabilities and the support that we at Allen-Vanguard provide for our customers that we have received this significant follow-on order before we have even finished the full deployment of the original order. We will continue to work in partnership with the end users to ensure this invaluable protection capability is fully embedded and supported to deliver the best possible protection for their troops.”
