Allen-Vanguard is a global business supplying the world’s best, proven products and services to defeat and mitigate the risks of terrorism.
The Canadian–based Group combines the expertise of four key market leaders: PW Allen joined forces with Vanguard Response Systems Inc in 2005 to form Allen-Vanguard. HMS and MedEng Systems became part of the group in 2007.
Allen-Vanguard has equipment in service with leading military, law enforcement and blue light agencies in over 170 countries, supported by comprehensive training and customer support.
Allen-Vanguard have designed and developed advanced ECM technology whose purpose is to prevent the remote, radio controlled detonation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The specific effect of Allen-Vanguard ECM technology is to "jam" or block the radio signal transmitted to an explosive device, preventing its initiation, without blocking normal comms.
The extensive range that Allen-Vanguard ECM systems provide are field proven to provide an effective response and protection from RCIED threats and are used for IEDD render-safe procedures, event or venue protection, force protection (foot patrol & vehicle convoy) and VIP protection.
Allen-Vanguard owns the market-leading premier range of Med-Eng™ Personal Body Cooling Suits that are essential to EOD technicians wearing bomb suits because it they mitigate heat stress, especially in hot and humid climates, giving the technician more time to work at their task. Other models of our Micro Climate Military Vehicle Cooling System are proven to reduce the heat stress on sensitive electronic equipment and on personnel transported in military vehicles.
From small scale emergency and spot CBRNE decontamination of people and property to large scale CBRNEdecontamination of vehicles, buildings, equipment and infrastructure, Allen-Vanguard offers scalable, self-contained units for First Responders, EOD Technicians, Military, Close Protection and Hazardous Material Teams. Quickly deployable and easily operable, Allen-Vanguard’s decontamination foam delivery systems use CASCAD™, a single chemistry which neutralises all known military chemical and biological agents within NATO specified times. A variation of this chemistry – Surface Decontamination Foam (SDF™) was developed particularly for application on building surface materials.
Allen-Vanguard owns the market-leading premier range of Med-Eng™ IDAS™ scalable protective equipment used by military and police tactical personnel to protect the extremities against the threats of blast fragmentation and bullets. Specific components of the blast armour are designed for vehicle and cupola gunners to offer additional protection.
