London – October 22, 2026 -- Allen-Vanguard is launching SECURIS, a mobile counter-drone trailer built with four partner companies, at DSEi 25 in London. The system combines RF detection, radar, optical recognition and RF jamming on one rapidly deployable platform.

Four specialist partners supply detection and defeat layers

Metis, Blighter, Openworks and EdeyFX joined Allen-Vanguard on the project. Metis contributes its SKYPERION RF detection, which the source says NATO allies use in various integrated systems. Blighter provides radar target acquisition through its A400 series. Openworks supplies the Vision Flex optical recognition system, with long-range imagers, slew-to-cue capability and twin AI modules for detection, tracking and identification.

Allen-Vanguard adds its ANCILE C-UAS RF Effectors for the defeat function. EdeyFX built the bespoke trailer chassis, with layout informed by operational input.
