Securing high-value military components for Airbus during sensitive transport
Airbus UK are responsible for manufacturing military wing sets for their A400M heavy transport aircraft. These components are worth millions and must be transported securely from the UK to a final assembly plant in Europe.
Escorting High-Value, High-Risk Military Assets
POC were selected for the security escort role after the national provider deemed the operation too specialist. The project demanded advanced risk mitigation, discretion, and total reliability.
We delivered a comprehensive mobile security model involving defensive driving, rolling roadblocks, and specialist surveillance technology including thermal cameras and microwave perimeter detection. Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs approved POC’s operations, granting Airbus an Open General Export Licence based on our performance.
Delivered security escort services for military-grade components.
Deployed highly trained drivers and surveillance operatives.
Used thermal and microwave detection equipment.
Provided operational cover for both transport and temporary storage.
Maintained a perfect record since the contract’s inception in 2012.
POC have proven to be an exceptional organisation to work with in high value and business critical security activities, their attention to detail and planning is one of their key factors in the quality of their services.
We have faced certain exceptional challenges over the past two years and the POC team have worked to ensure a successful, safe and satisfactory outcome in the protection in transit of high value sensitive assets for our client.
More recently we have had to prepare alternative and additional movements of aircraft wings and the detail and quality of the planning is outstanding, which we are confident will deliver a successful safe operation.
I have no hesitation in recommending POC as a specialist security asset partner who are, in my opinion outstanding in the attention to detail and professionalism. A bold statement in the commercial world of today, but one that I standby.
This project demonstrates POC’s elite capability in securing national defence-related assets. Our flawless delivery record and unique skillset led to a long-term partnership with Airbus, affirming our ability to manage highly sensitive, high-stakes operations.
