This collaboration has been established to leverage the respective expertise (detect and defeat) and proven product capabilities (RF detection, radar detection, optical recognition and RF jamming) from each company to address the increasing threat to people, infrastructure and key locations from the nefarious use of drones.  

Details on SECURIS, the new mobile counter uncrewed air systems (C-UAS) trailer system will be available at the Allen-Vanguard stand at DSEI 25, Excel, London (9th-12th September 2025). 

The SECURIS C-UAS trailer is a rapidly deployable, mobile counter drone capability that has a best in class, multi-faceted detection suite combining the advanced RF detection capabilities of SKYPERION from Metis which is used globally by NATO allies in various integrated systems, the unique radar target acquisition capabilities of Blighter’s A400 series, which is also operationally proven globally and the advanced optical recognition system Vision Flex from Openworks; again sector leading for its long-range imagers, dynamic slew-to-cue capability, and twin-AI modules for detection, tracking and identification.
  
These aspects, along with Allen-Vanguard’s own operationally proven range of C-UAS RF Effectors (ANCILE), have been cleverly integrated onto a bespoke trailer chassis produced by EdeyFX accommodating operational input on design and layout coupled with the highest level of mobility.  SECURIS delivers a scalable, fully integrated, comprehensive, easy to use, reliable and future proofed counter drone capability on an extremely mobile and robust platform.  Its open architecture and modular nature also makes it highly suitable for the provision of Protection-as-a-Service (PaaS) where customers are provided the latest updates and technology innovations as part of a package rather than just purchasing a one-shot capability.

Bobby Strawbridge, President of Allen-Vanguard said: “I am delighted to formally launch our new fully integrated and scalable mobile counter drone trailer system SECURIS at DSEi 25.  We have worked closely with our partners at Metis, Blighter, Openworks and EdeyFX all of whom are agile SMEs like ourselves, and who are acknowledged Domain Knowledge Experts (DKEs) in their respective fields.  

"As specialists, with operationally proven products within our own areas of expertise, we have come together to produce exactly what the customer base has been demanding, a best of breed collaboration of capable systems packaged into a scalable and highly mobile package.  SECURIS will help counter the rapidly evolving threat posed by drones and it’s modularity ensures future adaptability and therefore enables provision of Protection-as-a-Service rather than just product manufacture.”
