AEI Systems to Showcase VENOM LR at DSA 2026 Following Strong Interest at Enforce Tac

AEI Systems, the UK  medium-calibre gun specialist and a core subsidiary of the SYS Group, will participate in the Defence Services Asia (DSA) Exhibition and Conference 2026, taking place from 20–23 April in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Following a successful presence at Enforce Tac (23–25 February) where VENOM LR generated significant international interest, AEI Systems will present its low-recoil, adjustable-rate 30x113mm revolver cannon to one of the most important defence exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region.

DSA serves as a key platform for defence authorities, system integrators and industry leaders across South-East Asia and beyond. The participation of AEI Systems reflects its growing engagement with regional partners and its commitment to delivering advanced, ITAR-free medium-calibre solutions for modern operational requirements.

VENOM LR – Low-Recoil, Adjustable Firepower for Multi-Role and Counter-UAS Operations 

At the centre of the presence of AEI Systems will be the 30x113mm VENOM LR. Designed and engineered in the UK, VENOM LR is a revolver cannon developed to meet the evolving demands of land, maritime and unmanned platforms.
 
Recognised for having the ability to fire at one of the highest rates within its class, VENOM LR offers:

• An adjustable rate of fire from single shot to 1,300spm
• Low-recoil
• Low energy consumption
• Superior flexibility for platform integration

Its low-recoil characteristics make it particularly well suited for integration on lightweight armoured vehicles, naval vessels and Remote Weapon Systems (RWS), where platform stability and structural integrity are critical.

At DSA 2026, VENOM LR will be presented installed within the UNIROBOTICS TRAKON 30 RWS , delivering a fully stabilised, combat-ready solution optimised for multi-role operations and Counter-UAS (C-UAS) applications.

The VENOM LR and TRAKON 30 configuration offers an effective response to emerging aerial threats, including unmanned aerial systems and asymmetric airborne platforms, whilst maintaining superior ground engagement capability.

Positioned for Regional Adoption

VENOM LR is currently progressing through engagement and evaluation phases aimed at entry into several regional inventories. Its ITAR-free status, ammunition flexibility and adaptable rate-of-fire configuration position it as a compelling solution for nations seeking sovereign capability, operational independence and future-ready firepower.

Leadership Perspective

Simon Angel, Managing Director of AEI Systems, commented:
“Following the exceptional level of interest we received at Enforce Tac, DSA represents a timely and important opportunity to further engage with partners across the Asia-Pacific region.

In light of the emerging tensions and evolving security dynamics around the World but, in particular, the Middle East, we are seeing a renewed and urgent focus on the protection of critical national infrastructure against asymmetric aerial threats. VENOM LR has been engineered from the outset to deliver adaptable, high-performance firepower for modern multi-role missions and, as such, it offers a particularly compelling and cost-effective Counter-UAS solution.

When integrated with the TRAKON 30 RWS and paired with an effective radar cueing solution, VENOM LR provides a responsive and scalable defence capability. This configuration enables accurate engagement of aerial threats whilst maintaining the flexibility to perform conventional fire support roles.

We are observing increasing demand from nations seeking advanced, ITAR-free medium-calibre capability that can be deployed rapidly to safeguard strategic facilities and high-value assets. DSA provides an important platform to demonstrate how British engineering, supported by the SYS Group’s integration expertise, delivers a practical, cost-efficient and operationally proven solution for today’s evolving threat environment.”
