Allen-Vanguard Secures Over $3 Million Worth of New Contracts in Africa

June 13th, 2026

Allen-Vanguard, a global leader in Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), has secured over $3 million worth of new contracts for its vehicle-based Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) system (3XXX) and highly adaptable man-portable ECM system (SCORPION 2) to enhance the force protection and C-IED capability of two African nations. Allen-Vanguard will be at Eurosatory, Hall 5a – DE345 to discuss all their integrated RF protection products and capabilities to defeat modern threats.

Allen-Vanguard are experts in delivering integrated, platform-agnostic RF electronic warfare, counter-RCIED and counter-UAS solutions. It has over 25 years of operational experience in the design, development and deployment of integrated, platform-agnostic systems tailored to counter evolving threats in high-risk environments. Its capabilities enable the detection, disruption and protection of personnel across complex battlespaces, supporting defence, security and public safety organisations worldwide. Allen-Vanguard combines proven technology with comprehensive training, threat-informed updates and through-life support to ensure sustained effectiveness and mission readiness in high-risk operational scenarios.

Due to the sensitivity and security risks associated with the customer’s theatre of operations, it is not possible to disclose the purchasing nations or specify the deployment plans for this new capability. However, these initial orders are a major force protection capability uplift for the end user. It will deliver enhanced individual, vehicle and vulnerable point protection to security forces operating in high-risk Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RC-IED) environments and, in addition, help mitigate the increasing threat posed by the use of Uncrewed Air Systems (UAS), such as drones, to conduct aggressive ISTAR activity or deliver lethal effects.

The contracts come with a full support package, including training for users, technicians and mission-fill development. This support includes the deployment of Field Service Representatives to ensure the development of indigenous ECM capability and reach back to the Threat Management Team.

This team of RF experts optimise algorithms specific to the end user’s needs to combat evolving threats specific to their region of operations. This comprehensive wrap-around support maximises the protection offered by the ECM systems, both from a physical capability perspective but also from the essential changes to tactics, techniques and procedures necessary to keep operators safe.

Stuart Wilson, Director Business Development & Marketing at Allen-Vanguard, said: “We have a long history of providing force protection capability to African nations and associated peace-keeping forces, and we are extremely pleased to secure these new contracts to maintain and enhance this important relationship with the region. Unfortunately, the significant threat to security forces in Africa from UXOs, IEDs, RC-IEDs and other RF hazards remains high, and has only been exacerbated by the growing threat from UAS. Our systems are not only market leading in relation to their technology and capability, but our support packages also ensure purchasing nations improve their wider ECM capability and remain updated with the latest algorithms and software to maintain their protection. For this reason, we are trusted and operationally proven with NATO countries and peace-keeping forces globally.”

Air Commandos Make History: 492nd, 919th SOW Airmen Graduate Argentine Mountain School

June 13th, 2026

BARILOCHE, Argentina — For the first time in United States Air Force history, two Airmen have successfully completed the rigorous mountain warfare course at the Escuela Militar de Montaña in Bariloche, Argentina, according to Director of the Argentine Mountain Warfare School, Col. Ignacio García Solórzano. The graduation of members from the 492nd Special Operations Wing and the 919th Special Operations Wing marks a major milestone, representing the first time in 20 years that any U.S. military personnel have completed the prestigious school.

Set in the unforgiving, rugged terrain of Patagonia, the mountain school is designed to push students to their absolute physical and mental limits. These Air Commandos faced a demanding curriculum focused on high-altitude operations, specialized cold-weather survival, and moving quickly through mountainous landscapes. Over several weeks, they mastered advanced rock climbing, complex rope safety techniques, and the use of single-rope bridges to cross dangerous mountain rivers.

“Prior to attending this school, I had completed extensive land navigation training in steep mountain terrain, hiked glaciers, and completed several multi-day trips. Nothing compared to the level of mountaineering we would endure during this course,” said the participating Airman from the 919th SOW. “They took what I had previously considered intense hiking and went vertical. While I had some experience, this school introduced an entirely new element: multi-pitch rock climbing.”

Beyond the tactical skills acquired, the training served as a vital platform to strengthen the strategic partnership between the United States and Argentina. U.S. Airmen trained alongside their Argentinean military counterparts, integrating into combined teams on dangerous terrain. This shared experience fostered mutual trust and “interoperability” — the ability for different nations’ militaries to work together seamlessly during a mission. The integration was so successful that one of the U.S. Airmen was voted by their classmates to receive the “Best Teammate Award,” a powerful testament to the camaraderie and mutual respect.

After initially graduating, both Air Commandos were invited to stay for the school’s instructor course. They both successfully graduated from this advanced cadre training and received an invitation from the Argentinean military to return as guest instructors for future iterations of the mountain school.

“When you look back at the legacy of the original Carpetbaggers in World War II, they forged new alliances through innovative intelligence and the drive to accomplish the impossible,” said Col. Zak Blom, 492nd SOW commander. “By mastering this course and becoming instructors alongside our Argentinean partners, these Airmen are writing the next chapter of that legacy — tackling challenges that haven’t been touched by U.S. forces in decades.”

Col. Scott Hurrelbrink, 919th SOW commander, echoed the significance of the accomplishment.

“What these Air Commandos achieved in Patagonia is nothing short of historic,” Hurrelbrink said. “By conquering this environment and bridging a two-decade gap with Argentina, they proved the unwavering strength and reach of our international alliances.”

Breaking a two-decade hiatus since the last U.S. military participation in 2006, these achievements signal a renewed and highly active commitment to military cooperation between the two nations. By sending Air Force Special Operations Command personnel to one of South America’s premier mountain warfare schools and having them recognized as elite instructors, the U.S. Air Force is reinvigorating critical alliances in the region.

The successful completion of this course and the follow-on instructor training by the 492nd and 919th SOW Airmen directly enhances the global posture of U.S. special operations forces. By mastering mobility, survival, and instruction in extreme mountain conditions alongside international partners, these Air Commandos ensure they remain adaptable, lethal, and fully prepared to lead complex missions in any climb and any place.

Spearheading the Spectrum: How CPT Curtis Hart is Driving Acquisition Reform and Electromagnetic Dominance for PdM EWI

June 13th, 2026

In an era where the battlefield is increasingly defined by invisible frequencies and data dominance, the Army Acquisition Corps is under a clear mandate: deliver capabilities faster, smarter, and with the Soldier at the center of the design process. It is a daunting task that requires moving away from the sluggish procurement cycles of the past and embracing agile, iterative modernization.

Product Manager Electronic Warfare Integration (PdM EWI) is proud to highlight a leader who isn’t just adapting to these acquisition reforms—he is defining them. MeetCapt. Curtis Hart, Assistant Product Manager (APM) for PdM EWI.

In his short but profoundly impactful tenure, Hart has become a catalyst for change. He stands at the forefront of the Army’s electromagnetic warfare modernization, bringing a rare blend of technical acumen, operational experience, and a relentless commitment to the warfighter.

Bridging the Gap to Next-Gen Command and Control

Hart’s portfolio spans the full spectrum of Army electromagnetic warfare. He is charged with supporting the legacy Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) while concurrently driving the development of the cutting-edge Electromagnetic Warfare Command and Control (EWC2) the Army’s web application aligned with Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2).

Managing a transition of this magnitude is a classic acquisition challenge, but under Hart’s guidance, EWC2 has rapidly evolved into a modern, web-based application. Today, it provides commanders with real-time Electromagnetic Operating Picture (EOP) visualization and critical decision support. His leadership has been instrumental in bridging the gap between legacy systems and the NGC2 architecture, ensuring warfighters are seamlessly equipped with the tools necessary to dominate the spectrum.

Transformation in Contact: Speed to Relevance

At the heart of the Department of War’s acquisition reform is the concept of “Transformation in Contact” (TiC) — the ability to iteratively field, test, and refine capabilities directly with operational units. Throughout his time with Project Manager Electromagnetic Warfare & Collection (PM EW&C), Hart has been the tip of the spear for these global operational engagements.

He serves as the primary facilitator for training, fielding, and equipping Soldiers on both EWPMT and EWC2. By orchestrating these activities, he directly supports the Army’s flagship NGC2 experimentation efforts with the 4th Infantry Division (4ID) and the 25th Infantry Division (25ID).

A prime example of Hart’s impact is his leadership during the Ivy Sting exercise series. He successfully facilitated the integration of EWC2 with 4ID’s NGC2 architecture, enabling the division to conduct electromagnetic warfare operations in a fully modernized environment. This integration is not just a localized win; it is a foundational steppingstone for Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PC-C6) and a scalable model for future Army-wide adoption.

“Capt. Hart is a creative thinker who always brings a solution to the problem, he is spearheading Army Acquisition Reform by leading the charge on NGC2 TiC engagements,” said Lt. Col. Troy Merkel, Product Manager EWI. “His ability to bridge operational needs with acquisition innovation is setting a new standard for the Army.”

Closing the Loop: Soldier-Centered Design

Perhaps the most shining example of Hart’s alignment with modern acquisition reform is how he champions Soldier-centered design. Recognizing that the best software is builtwiththe user, not justforthe user, he revolutionized how PM EWI handles feedback from the field.

Hart incorporated a Human Systems Integration (HSI) Subject Matter Expert into the team to build a streamlined, online feedback loop. Now, Soldiers can complete assessments while in the field, sending critical usability data directly to the developers. This close collaboration, particularly with the 4ID CEMA Cell, successfully aligned EWC2 with real-world operational needs, posturing the division for success in exercises like Ivy Mass and beyond. It is the epitome of agile software development in action.

The Leader Behind the Mission

Hart’s drive is forged by profound operational experience. Commissioned in 2016, he served in field artillery units at Fort Bliss, TX, and Fort Drum, NY, and deployed to Iraq in 2023 and Afghanistan from 2020 to 2021.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from James Madison University and, highly fitting for his current role, a Master of Science in Systems Engineering Management from the Naval Postgraduate School. When he isn’t driving modernization efforts, Hart enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two children, hitting the golf course, and tackling DIY projects at home.

Hart’s relentless drive, innovative spirit, and unwavering commitment to Soldiers are setting the pace for Army Acquisition Reform. He proves that with the right leadership, the acquisition process can be as agile and lethal as the forces it supports. He is, without question, a true superstar of the PdM EWI and a model for the next generation of Army Acquisition leaders.

Gallatin AI Awarded Contract by US Army’s III Armored Corps

June 12th, 2026

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2026 — Gallatin AI today announced it has been awarded a contract by the US Army’s III Armored Corps to deploy and refine Navigator, its AI-native logistics decision support suite, in direct support of III Corps exercises and operational planning over the next 18 months.

The award addresses a capability gap at the corps echelon where Army ground combat units lack tools that enable sustainment decision support at the operational level of war. Under the agreement, Gallatin will deliver a tailored Logistics Common Operating Picture (LOGCOP); predictive consumption algorithms across all classes of supply; AI-assisted planning tools for the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP); and integration with Next Generation Constructive (NGC) simulation platforms. The effort maps to two Department of War critical technology areas: Applied Artificial Intelligence and Contested Logistics Technologies.

“Planning and executing Sustainment at the operational level is fundamentally different from what happens at the tactical or strategic echelon,” said Woody Glier, CEO of Gallatin AI. “A corps commander and staff must forecast what tens of thousands of Soldiers will require over months of sustained conflict while placing those requests against theater sustainment commands and depots that may be a continent away. That requires a decision support capability built for operational timescales and operational complexity.”

“At the corps level, the hard part is reconciling demand against supply,” said Brian Ballard, Chief Product Officer at Gallatin AI. “A staff is pulling a noisy, continuous demand signal from formations that may be dispersed across more than one theater, and it has to turn those disparate pieces of information into supportable courses of action (COAs) for validation with an Corps Sustainment Command (CSC) before anyone commits resources. Navigator surfaces the right data at the right time and lets corps and CSC planners develop and stress-test those COAs together.”

Navigator is already deployed with multiple military units. Work under the III Corps Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) will be validated through iterative delivery across multiple live exercise events.

About Gallatin

Founded in 2024 and backed by 8VC and leading defense and technology investors, Gallatin AI develops capabilities that make the Joint Logistics Enterprise predictive, visible, and accountable, from the point of production to the point of need. Headquartered in El Segundo, CA with offices in Washington, DC and Austin, TX, Gallatin’s flagship platform, Navigator, is deployed with multiple military units enabling precision sustainment at the speed of relevance.

Galvion Expands Cortex EVO Architecture with New HALO Configuration at Eurosatory 2026

June 12th, 2026

Galvion, a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative head systems, power and data management solutions, and integrated soldier systems, will showcase the continued evolution of its Cortex™ architecture at Eurosatory 2026 (Hall 5A, Booth G391), featuring the introduction of the HALO configuration for its Cortex EVO™ system.

First introduced at SOF Week 2025 as a new category of intelligent, headborne systems, Cortex established a framework for integrating power, data and processing at the operator level. Earlier this year, Galvion introduced Cortex EVO™, a deeply integrated architecture that combines protection, power, data and compute within a unified headborne system. At Eurosatory 2026, Galvion is expanding that architecture with the introduction of its HALO configuration—an externally mounted implementation designed to bring advanced headborne capabilities to both new and fielded helmet platforms. Together, the Embedded and HALO configurations provide a common Cortex EVO architecture, enabling users to access the same core capabilities through implementation approaches aligned with their operational requirements, procurement strategies and lifecycle objectives.

Initially available for Galvion’s Batlskin Caiman® helmet system, with planned expansion to the Hellbender™ platform, the EVO HALO configuration provides a flexible implementation pathway that can be delivered as part of new helmet systems or integrated onto fielded helmets through upgrade and modernization programs. This approach provides a flexible, cost-effective route for organizations seeking to introduce advanced digital capabilities while leveraging established support, maintenance and sustainment infrastructure.

Central to the Cortex EVO system is Galvion’s AlertCentr™ software, which enables mission-relevant data to be delivered and managed at the headborne level. Integrated within TAK-based environments, AlertCentr supports configurable visual and audio cueing, allowing operators to access and act on critical information without diverting attention to secondary devices.

The systems demonstrated at Eurosatory incorporate multiple capability elements within the Cortex architecture, including:

• Visual augmentation: TAK video, sensor feeds and navigation integrations

• Sensing and awareness: Detection and identification capabilities supporting enhanced threat awareness

• Audio and communication: Digital headset integration enabling configurable alerts and system-level interaction

• Power and data infrastructure: A unified architecture enabling scalable subsystem integration

These capabilities are enabled through an open architecture approach, allowing both Galvion-developed and third-party technologies to operate within a single system environment 1″Cortex EVO reflects years of investment, and demonstrates how multiple sensing, visualization, communication and awareness capabilities can operate within a unified headborne architecture,” said Jonathan Blanshay, Founder and Executive Chairman of Galvion. “Rather than focusing solely on externally mounted components, we challenged our teams to rethink the system from the inside out. By pursuing a purpose-built integrated architecture, we were forced to solve more difficult challenges around size, weight, power management, connectivity and overall user experience, ultimately creating a more capable and scalable foundation. The HALO configuration extends the benefits of Cortex EVO across both new programs and fielded Galvion helmet fleets.” He added: “Our customers have invested heavily in helmet systems and supporting infrastructure over many years. Combined with our growing manufacturing, maintenance and refurbishment capabilities in Europe, the EVO HALO configuration allows our customers to build on those investments while introducing the technologies that are increasingly shaping survivability, situational awareness and mission effectiveness on today’s battlefield.”
