Protect People and Property with Hostile Vehicle Mitigation

The risk of a vehicle as a weapon attack is an increasing concern for public spaces, venues and critical infrastructure. Agilient delivers specialist hostile vehicle mitigation services that help organisations proactively reduce this risk, protecting people, assets and operations through practical, site-specific physical security solutions.

What is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation?

Hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM) refers to a combination of physical security measures, risk assessment and planning designed to prevent or reduce the impact of vehicle-based attacks. These measures can include fixed or removable bollards, vehicle barriers, reinforced street furniture, controlled access points and traffic management layouts.

Effective HVM is not just about installing barriers. It integrates with broader site security policies, operational procedures and event management plans, often informed by a formal security risk assessment. When implemented correctly, HVM reduces risk, protects occupants and visitors, and supports compliance with relevant standards and local authority requirements.
