IDI-Systems announces ACRE NXF: Network eXperimentation Framework
24 OCT 2025

IDI-Systems has announced ACRE NXF, a software-defined RF network simulation framework that enables hardware-in-the-loop testing of networked RF systems without deploying physical hardware. Already in use by defense contractors and military programs, NXF combines containerized virtual modems, a networked IPC layer, and a custom Docker network plugin into a cohesive platform.

What We Do

Areas of Expertise

Modeling & Simulation

Virtual and constructive simulation for military and communications systems — from high-fidelity radio simulators to field artillery trainers and guided weapons emulators.

More details

IDI-Systems' simulation software has supported nearly a billion dollars of US government acquisition decisions and trained warfighters across the globe. Our flagship product, the Advanced Combat Radio Environment (ACRE), delivers real-time RF propagation and antenna modeling across multiple platforms including Unreal Engine.

Space

Satellite systems design and architecture — from requirements capture through PDR/CDR, qualification testing, GSE integration, and on-orbit commissioning.

More details

Our experience spans comms subsystems, avionics and payload integration, test system design, and embedded flight software. We bring deep knowledge of failure mode analysis, embedded architecture, and operational bring-up for space-grade systems.

Software & IT

Complex software and IT systems — containerized cloud environments, custom applications, and open-source solutions from virtualized infrastructure to bare metal.

More details

We build and deploy modern containerized solutions for rapid scaling, design custom software to fit your exact needs, and are committed to open-source where it makes sense — for better software and a better bottom line.

Government & Defense

Connecting global engineering talent to US and allied government programs — from proposal support to international contract labor.

More details

We have experience with US and European public funding initiatives, civilian and military solicitations, and can act as a conduit for international talent on defense projects you wish to pursue.
