What ICP Newtech does

ICP NewTech Ltd. is an Irish specialist manufacturer of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) headquartered in Kilbrittain, Bandon, Co Cork. The firm designs, produces, and supports a family of remotely operated robotic platforms — the Avenger 2.0 (enhanced EOD/bomb-disposal UGV), Avenger Fire (firefighting robot capable of discharging 2,000 litres of water per minute), and Avenger LT (latest-generation ease-of-use variant) — used by military, security services, and first-responder organizations for explosive ordnance disposal, CBRNE response, HAZMAT handling, mine clearance, and firefighting operations. Technical differentiators include COFDM radio communications for reliable remote control, BDLC brushless DC drive systems, six- and seven-degree-of-freedom high-power manipulator arms, thermal imaging cameras with temperature readout, and integrated CBRNE sensor packages; the firm emphasizes a 'Remote Where Possible' safety philosophy and has more than 600 UGVs in active service worldwide.

The company operates a dual hardware-plus-services revenue model. Primary revenue comes from customized UGV hardware sales priced via quote (with multi-year support contracts), supplemented by recurring aftermarket streams: tiered maintenance programs (annual contracts and on-call engineer visits), mid-life upgrade options, NATO-codified spare parts catalogues, and 3- to 5-day professional training programs delivered at the Cork headquarters or on customer sites by former EOD operators. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales to government and defense buyers globally, with dedicated sales and customer service contact channels and no reseller layer. Certifications include ISO 9001 and NATO codification support.

The firm is privately held and founder/management-led, with key personnel reporting more than 40 years of combined UGV design and worldwide support experience. Headcount sits in the 11-50 band consistent with a small specialist manufacturer, and the product roadmap shows active expansion — Avenger LT and Avenger Fire both launched in 2025, with Avenger Fire securing Kent Fire and Rescue Service (UK) as an early adopter. No external institutional investors, funding rounds, partnerships, or M&A activity are disclosed in the available source material.
