Cambridge Pixel has partnered with OpenWorks Engineering to integrate Vision Flex, OpenWorks’ optical tracking system, with its own radar processing software and engineering expertise.
The collaboration is set to deliver tailored counter-drone systems that meet the operational needs of multiple European police forces.
Cambridge Pixel’s software, which supports most modern C-UAS radars, plays a central role in the integrated system. It enables multi-sensor data fusion, target tracking, and intelligent alerting. OpenWorks’ proven, industry-leading optical system technology and AI ensures precise visual identification and tracking of UAS threats.
The integrated system has already undergone successful demonstrations and is being adapted to meet specific procurement and operational criteria set by police units in several European countries. The solution’s modular architecture ensures that it can be configured to suit fixed installations, mobile deployments or rapid-response teams.
As the threat from uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) continues to evolve, law enforcement agencies across Europe are seeking integrated solutions capable of detecting, tracking, and enabling forces to take appropriate action. By combining radar data with high-precision AI-powered optical tracking, the joint solution provides reliable situational awareness and rapid threat assessment in both urban and rural environments.
David Johnson, Director at Cambridge Pixel, stated, “Our collaboration with OpenWorks Engineering brings together best-in-class sensor technology and software expertise. This partnership allows us to offer scalable, field-proven solutions tailored to the complex requirements of law enforcement agencies operating in diverse scenarios.”
Chris Down, Chief Executive Officer at OpenWorks Engineering, added, “Combining our advanced camera technology with Cambridge Pixel’s radar processing delivers a powerful counter-UAS capability. It’s a great example of UK engineering companies working together to address real-world security challenges.”
This partnership reflects a growing demand, with many other law enforcement and public safety agencies showing interest in acquiring this interoperable, adaptable counter-drone solution.
