Allen-Vanguard, leaders in the design, development and delivery of integrated, platform-agnostic systems, in collaboration with Hyperion Defence Solutions, is showcasing a novel integrated approach to Joint Fires training and simulation at CANSEC, taking place in Ottawa, Canada, from 27 to 28 May 2026.
This approach focuses on configurable, accreditable systems tailored to meet the specific operational, facility, battlespace and training requirements of the end user. Allen-Vanguard will be at CANSEC to discuss this and all their advanced Radio Frequency (RF) solutions for electronic warfare, counter-RCIED and counter-UAS operations.
Hyperion has deep expertise in Joint Fires support and training, simulation and the establishment and delivery of modern training solutions for defence organisations. Together, they are showcasing this bespoke digital joint fires, fully immersive, mixed reality training environment to efficiently and effectively deliver complex Joint Fires training. Instead of presenting a single off-the-shelf product, the partnership combines Canadian defence presence, Joint Fires domain expertise, simulation integration experience and mature training technologies.
Solutions range from fixed projected facilities to deployable mobile systems and mixed-reality training options. The design supports realistic, networked Joint Fires training, including individual and collective proficiency development, scenario-based training, sensor-to-shooter workflows, target correlation, fires coordination and integration with wider digital Joint Fires environments.
The solution architecture is configurable around end-user requirements, including facility constraints, existing systems, accreditation pathways, operational workflows and future upgrade requirements. This scalability spans classroom and mission rehearsal systems to higher-fidelity projected or mixed-reality environments.
Bobby Strawbridge, President of Allen-Vanguard said: “Combining Allen-Vanguard’s Canadian defence presence and systems integration experience with Hyperion’s Joint Fires training and simulation expertise ensures that this partnership can support Canada’s next phase of Joint Fires modernisation with a practical, scalable, accreditable and affordable training solutions.”
