OpenWorks Engineering Ltd

OpenWorks Engineering has developed innovative technologies that are already deployed in integrated counter-drone systems used by the world’s leading security and counter terrorism authorities, the SkyWall family.

SkyWall systems offer defence and security organisations the capability to autonomously classify, track and capture drone targets; protecting the public, VIPs, service personnel, and critical and sensitive infrastructure from the threats posed by drones.

The SkyWall Autonomous Optics products make use of the latest developments in deep-learning neural network classification to quickly and reliably detect and classify a target. They achieve industry leading tracking performance by controlling the camera motion using AI, applicable to new and existing PTZ hardware

SkyWall Net Capture systems are operationally deployed and provide the ability to physically capture a drone in a specifically designed ‘drone entangling’ net. They are often used in conjunction with electronic countermeasures for a layered defence, or in environments where electronic attack cannot be deployed. They offer a cost effective, proportionate and physical response to the drone threat.

All SkyWall products are designed to be integrated with a simple to use software development kit. Many C-UAS systems already have the SkyWall interface implemented.
