This is the very latest iteration of the portable device.
Allen-Vanguard, specializing in individual counterterrorism tools based on radio frequency emission, has announced the release of their portable electronic countermeasure system, SCORPION ECM, reported by Sarbaz.kz citing defensa.com.
This is a system that can be carried in a backpack. Its production, in this latest fifth generation, began in 2019. To date, this system represents the latest iteration of the concept of a portable device that has been under development for the past two decades.
The portable device can be beneficial for troop protection. With this system, military sappers can detect explosive devices as they approach them.
In the latest version of the portable system, developers have equipped it to combat remotely piloted aerial devices.
SCORPION has already been deployed to protect troops, non-governmental organizations, and government establishments across all continents. The device possesses a strong energy-efficient mode of operation. Additionally, due to its antenna configuration and easy transportability, it can be used in a wide range of scenarios. All of this makes SCORPION the most potent response to current and future threats.
According to the company statement, thanks to its versatility, the device can protect not only live personnel but also vehicles from controlled explosive devices. Bobby Strawbridge, the company's director, also emphasized that such a device could be extremely valuable in regions of the world with high terrorist threats.
