Aberdeen-based AV specialist AV One Solutions will be exhibiting at one of the UK’s leading defence procurement events next week, showcasing how modern control room environments support critical decision-making.
The AV One team will travel to Farnborough to attend DPRTE (Defence Procurement, Research, Technology & Exportability) on 25 – 26 March, where they will present a live control room demonstration in partnership with technology specialist Datapath.
Rather than displaying static equipment, AV One has designed a working control room environment on the stand to give visitors a practical look at how integrated AV systems bring together multiple data sources, video feeds and operational platforms into a single, clear operational view.
Control rooms are used across a wide range of sectors where real-time awareness and rapid decision-making are essential, including defence, transport infrastructure, security, energy and offshore operations.
By combining AV One’s system integration expertise with Datapath’s control room technology, the demonstration will show how modern command and monitoring environments enable operators to visualise complex information, coordinate responses and maintain operational oversight.
Grant MacLean, Business Development Manager at AV One, said: “Control rooms sit at the heart of many mission-critical environments, but they’re often misunderstood. They’re not just about installing screens, they’re about designing a space where operators can clearly see what’s happening and make confident decisions quickly.
"DPRTE is a great opportunity to demonstrate how integrated AV technology supports that and to show how the right design and infrastructure can make a real difference to operational performance.”
AV One specialises in designing and delivering integrated AV environments across corporate, operational and critical settings, with a focus on reliability, usability and long-term support.
The company will be exhibiting on Stand 114 alongside Datapath, whose Aetria control room ecosystem supports secure and scalable monitoring environments for defence and government applications.
DPRTE is widely regarded as the UK’s premier defence procurement and supply chain event, bringing together buyers, suppliers and policymakers for two days of networking, knowledge sharing and collaboration across the defence sector.
DPRTE takes place at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre on 25 – 26 March 2026.
