Callen‑Lenz at Security & Policing 2026: Strengthening collaboration, capability and operational insight
Callen‑Lenz had a highly productive and engaging week at Security & Policing 2026, marked by strong international engagement, meaningful conversations, and active contributions to discussions shaping the future of national security, border protection and operational resilience.
Day 1: A strong start on the Callen‑Lenz Stand
The event opened with significant momentum on the Callen‑Lenz stand (B123), where a full programme of discussions took place with UK and international delegations. We were pleased to welcome representatives from:
- Spain
- Singapore
- The United States
- BATS
- Poland
alongside a range of key stakeholders from across the government, security and operational community. These early engagements set a positive foundation for deeper collaboration throughout the week.
A key highlight of the opening day was the involvement of a Callen‑Lenz representative in the Security & Policing Mission Impact Roundtable on Border Force, where shifting challenges and emerging threats took centre stage.
Sharing insights on the future of Border Security
During the roundtable, Callen‑Lenz contributed perspectives on how advanced airborne intelligence can support Border Force teams confronting increasingly complex risks. Discussions focused on:
- Persistent surveillance and high‑quality sensing to elevate situational awareness.
- Autonomous, multi‑sensor UAS capabilities to identify high‑risk activity and anomalous behaviour earlier in the threat chain.
- Remote, stand‑off intelligence, helping reduce frontline exposure to harmful substances and dangerous environments.
- Multi‑layer data fusion, integrating airborne sensing with scanning outputs, canine alerts, behavioural indicators and casework.
- Unified situational awareness, enabling better tasking, faster decision‑making and stronger system‑wide coordination.
As a UK‑based uncrewed capability partner, Callen‑Lenz is committed to supporting the frontline through trusted, sovereign technology that enhances safety, strengthens detection capability and improves operational decision‑advantage across border environments.
Event Highlights: Engagement, collaboration and sovereign capability
Across all three days of the show, the Callen‑Lenz team engaged with a wide range of government, industry and international partners. Conversations centred on:
- Current and emerging security challenges
- The increasing importance of airborne ISR and uncrewed systems
- Opportunities to enhance resilience, decision‑support and mission effectiveness
- The role of sovereign capability in strengthening operational advantage
Security & Policing continues to provide an invaluable platform for aligning priorities, sharing innovation and deepening the collaboration required to keep pace with evolving threats.
A strong close to Security & Policing 2026
This year’s event once again demonstrated the importance of close cooperation between government, industry and international partners as we work collectively to enhance national security.
Callen‑Lenz was proud to showcase the strength of UK sovereign UAS and ISR technology, and to contribute to the conversations shaping future capability development across operational domains.
A sincere thank you to ADS Group Ltd for delivering another excellent event and to everyone who took the time to visit the Callen‑Lenz stand or engage with us throughout the week. We look forward to continuing these discussions and building on this momentum throughout the year.
