Chess Dynamics has secured a £1.4 million ($1.8 million) contract to supply its Hawkeye Electro-Optical Sensor System (EOSS) for integration into mobile air defense platforms.
The order, placed by a prime contractor, will see the Hawkeye system employed for its high-resolution electro-optical and thermal imaging sensors, AI-enhanced tracking capabilities, and precision positioning hardware designed for demanding operational environments.
By complementing traditional radar-based solutions, the system uses Chess Dynamics’ DEFT AI algorithms to enhance long-range detection, identification, and continuous tracking of airborne threats, underscoring the shift toward layered, sensor-rich air defense architectures.
Hawkeye EOSS combines high-resolution optical cameras, thermal imaging sensors, and stabilized motion platforms to detect, track, and identify aerial targets at extended ranges.
Unlike radar, the system performs effectively in complex environments such as urban terrain and coastal regions, delivering detailed visual intelligence to commanders and air defense operators.
Modern EOSS configurations incorporate AI-driven tracking algorithms that maintain persistent target locks against fast-moving aircraft, drones, and missiles, supported by automated target prioritization and real-time data feeds to mobile command centers for rapid decision-making.
