Vantiq and C4i Systems unveil edge AI solution for rapid defense response

Vantiq and C4i Systems, a rugged edge computing provider, launched VANGUARD AIX, anAI-powered edge solution designed for defense, emergency response, and national security operations.
The solution integrates Vantiq’s real-time intelligence platform with C4i’s AI Accelerator (AIX), featuring a large language model (LLM) for adaptive decision-making in high-risk, low-communication environments.
VANGUARD AIX enhances situational awareness, threat detection, and autonomous responses, making it ideal for Agile Combat Employment (ACE) operations and critical scenarios. It is deployable in under five minutes, operates in disconnected environments, and supports scalable, real-time intelligence across multiple command levels.
“This is about giving operators the confidence to act decisively, no matter the circumstances,” says Martyn Dove of C4i Systems. “By combining the strengths of our lightweight and ruggedised edge solutions with Vantiq’s advanced agentic AI platform, we’re equipping teams with the tools they need to navigate complex situations with speed and precision.”
The system’s open architecture and low-code design allow for rapid adaptation and integration with new and legacy systems.
