Omnisys introduces the BRO (Battle Resource Optimisation) C-UAS system, a field-proven, real-time optimisation platform built to help airport organisations mitigate the growing threat of unauthorised and hostile unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The system enables data-driven, proportionate responses to aerial threats, ensuring passenger safety while maintaining airport operations.
In recent months, airports across Europe and the US have faced repeated shutdowns due to unauthorised drones. Munich Airport was halted twice within 24 hours; similar incidents in Copenhagen and Oslo led to partial closures, and the FAA now reports over 100 drone-related alerts per month.
Each incident triggers significant financial losses, cascading delays, and reputational harm, forcing airport security teams to make rapid, high-stakes decisions under growing regulatory scrutiny.
Smart deployment and confidence in decision-making
To stay ahead of such challenges, airports require more than additional sensors. The real need lies in smart deployment and confidence in decision-making, knowing where detection blind spots exist, which assets to prioritise, and when it is safe to resume operations. This aligns with FAA and EASA guidance emphasising proportionate, site-specific UAS response plans and real-time operational assessment.
The BRO platform addresses these needs by optimising how counter-UAS assets are acquired, deployed, and maintained. Using physics-aware modelling and live environmental data, it guides decision-makers in configuring systems for maximum protection while reducing unnecessary shutdowns.
Its dynamic vulnerability mapping continuously adapts to terrain, infrastructure, spectrum conditions, and interference, ensuring readiness and resilience even as conditions change.
Seamless integration
BRO integrates seamlessly with existing airport command-and-control systems or operates independently as a real-time recommendation layer. High-fidelity simulations, analytics, and AI-driven recommendations allow operational teams to visualise real-time defensive coverage, identify degraded performance, and apply corrective actions instantly.
This optimisation-driven approach minimises disruption, supports regulatory compliance, and accelerates a defensible return to normal operations.
“The BRO system gives security decision-makers the ability to make informed choices about which systems to acquire, where to deploy them, and how to operate them—ensuring effective protection while minimising disruption, which can sometimes result in millions in losses and long-term harm to an airport’s stability,” said Alfred (Fredi) Tzimet, Deputy CEO of Omnisys.
“Its optimisation-driven approach empowers authorities to maintain airport functionality and safety even under evolving aerial threats.”
