About OpenWorks Engineering
OpenWorks Engineering develops intelligent optics and counter-UAS equipment for defence, policing and critical-infrastructure surveillance. VISION FLEX provides stabilised tracking and targeting, VISION PACE is a deployable surveillance system, and VISION GUARD adds dynamic detection, identification and tracking; the company also lists SkyWall Patrol as a handheld smart-projectile drone-capture system.
The VISION products combine cameras, stabilisation, AI classification and motion control, with interfaces for third-party detectors, classifiers, interceptors and effectors. SkyWall supplies a physical capture option where electronic attack cannot be used. The products form sensing or effect layers in a wider security architecture, so detection range, identification confidence, rules of engagement, site coverage and lawful use remain specific to the selected system and deployment.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-20 - Contract Award - OpenWorks receives DHS order for Vision Pace counter-UAS capability
The issuer says the capability has been provided, using electro-optical tracking, a laser rangefinder and radar/sensor fusion. Vision Pace supports stationary or moving platforms and can use its twin-AI modules or third-party classifiers and trackers. The Rapid Deployment Kit combines an integral battery, storage and lifting points to move sensing capability between operating positions.
