New AI solution delivers intelligence in real-time, adaptive decision-making and resilient communications where traditional systems fail
WALNUT CREEK, CA – March 26, 2025 – Vantiq and C4i Systems have partnered to launch VANGUARD AIX, a new AI-powered edge solution designed to enhance defense, emergency response and national security operations.
This first-of-its-kind joint offering combines Vantiq’s real-time intelligence platform with C4i’s AI Accelerator (AIX) to deliver adaptive, mission-ready AI that operates reliably in low-communication and high-risk environments. By integrating AI-powered strategic and tactical analysis in a highly deployable format, the VANGUARD AIX provides defense and security teams with faster, more precise responses in volatile and rapidly changing situations.
“AI for defense and security can’t just crunch data—it has to think, adapt and act quickly in a format that is easy to use in critical situations,” said Marty Sprinzen, CEO of Vantiq. “Power and agility have never mattered more. VANGUARD AIX isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a shift in how AI powers decision-making in challenging and evolving environments.”
VANGUARD AIX is ideal for environments where connectivity is limited or nonexistent, providing powerful edge computing, automated threat detection and scalable situational awareness in real time. With Vantiq’s platform, the system can process and act on data instantly, reducing latency and allowing for autonomous responses in high-risk scenarios. Built to handle the unpredictability of modern defense and security challenges, it can be deployed in under 5 minutes and is also adaptable to evolving user needs. The Vanguard AIX ensures that decision-makers have the intelligence they need—exactly when they need it.
C4i Systems and Vantiq share a commitment to pushing AI innovation where it matters most. From front-line defense to disaster response, VANGUARD AIX is built to provide practical, intuitive, and reliable AI-powered intelligence in high-pressure situations.
“This is about giving operators the confidence to act decisively, no matter the circumstances,” said 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.”
As the future of Intelligent Defense Solutions takes shape, Vantiq and C4i Systems are working together to deliver agile, mission-ready solutions that redefine what’s possible at the edge.
