Detection, mitigation and containment of CBRNE threats
Allen-Vanguard is the foremost provider of integrated solutions for the detection, mitigation and containment of CBRNE threats. PW Allen (manufacturer of security and counter terrorist equipment for the UK military since 1972) joined forces with Canadian CBRN specialist Vanguard Response Systems in 2004.
Together, Allen-Vanguard has a unique and very detailed understanding of many internal security issues. This is translated into the design and manufacture of the widest range of specialized security products for EOD/IEDD technicians available anywhere in the world.
Key personnel in our research and delivery teams are former serving members of military and law enforcement EOD and CBRNE teams. They work in close collaboration with current users to plan and develop product improvements in order to combat new security threats which are constantly evolving. The combination of proven technology, professional field experience, and technical innovation, makes us leaders in our industry.
Allen-Vanguard products are in active use worldwide, the majority of which are NATO coded and GSA approved. Our product portfolio includes high risk security search, surveillance and analysis equipment, Hook and Line (HAL) BombTec rigging, small and large remote operated vehicles (ROV), a Universal Containment System for blast mitigation and decontamination, and state-of-the-art electronic counter measures (ECM) for EOD, VIP and force protection.
A full after sales service and training package is available for all our products.
