OpenWorks Engineering has been awarded a purchase order to provide the US Department for Homeland Security (DHS) with counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) capabilities under the Amentum Department of Defense (DOD) Information Analysis Center Multiple Award Contract (IAC MAC) contract.
Amentum was awarded the DOD IAC MAC contract by the US Air Force’s 774th Enterprise Sourcing Squadron. It is an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract that provides a wide range of mission-critical research and development capabilities. While it is a defence-led contract, authorised federal agencies including DHS may use it to procure services.
Under the terms of the contract, OpenWorks is providing its Vision Pace C-UAS system designed to detect, track, identify and target threats from stationary or mobile platforms.
Launched in 2025, Vision Pace combines the imaging technology with a direct drive, low friction positioner to provide stabilised tracking of highly dynamic targets. It is configurable, lightweight and compact, and can be used with built-in twin-AI modules or third-party classifiers and trackers. Vision Pace features an integrated radar and sensor-fusion capability along with a laser range finder that provides geospatial target reporting.
The Vision Pace Rapid Deployment Kit includes an integral battery pack, storage space and specially designed lifting points, enabling the system to be moved.
