AN/VLQ-12 CREW Duke

The most widely deployed counter-IED system protecting our warfighters against roadside bombs today.

The AN/VLQ-12 Counter Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) Duke system is a vehicle-mounted, lightweight system that neutralizes RCIED threats and gives U.S. troops a tactical advantage across the full spectrum of operations.

The AN/VLQ-12 CREW Duke system uses an advanced software-defined architecture that supports rapid reconfiguration to adapt to the constantly evolving threat environment. SRC engineers have continually enhanced the fielded AN/VLQ-12 CREW Duke system with programming upgrades.

The Duke system was selected as one of the U.S. Army’s Top 10 Greatest Inventions in both 2005 and 2009. 

• Simple to operate
• Compact size and lightweight
• Low power consumption
• Proven high reliability/operational availability
