New optimization system aims to reduce drone-related disruptions and support airport continuity
Omnisys has released its BRO C-UAS platform, a real-time optimization system designed to help airports respond to unauthorized drone activity. According to the company, the system gives airports the ability to act faster and with greater confidence during drone incidents, which have caused growing disruption across Europe and the United States.
Rising Drone Activity Creates Operational Strain
Airports worldwide have reported an increase in drone-related alerts and shutdowns. Recent events in Munich, Copenhagen, and Oslo led to halted or partial operations. In the United States, the FAA now receives more than 100 drone alerts each month. These disruptions can create significant financial losses, ripple effects across the air network, and concerns about passenger safety.
Airport security teams must make rapid decisions under increasing regulatory scrutiny, which has led regulators such as the FAA and EASA to call for proportionate and site-specific response plans.
Airport leaders face a need for more than additional sensors. They also need a clearer picture of detection gaps, asset placement, and safe recovery timelines. Omnisys says its BRO platform is built to address these challenges.
Optimization for Counter-UAS Response
The BRO platform focuses on how counter-UAS assets are acquired, deployed, and maintained. The system uses environmental data and physics-based modeling to guide security teams in configuring their defenses for changing conditions.
Its vulnerability-mapping feature adapts to terrain, infrastructure, and spectrum conditions. This helps airport teams understand performance in real time and take corrective actions quickly.
According to Omnisys, the system integrates with existing command-and-control tools or works as a standalone decision-support layer. It offers simulations, analytics, and AI-enabled recommendations to help teams visualize defensive coverage and reduce unnecessary shutdowns.
“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 minimizing 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 optimization-driven approach empowers authorities to maintain airport functionality and safety even under evolving aerial threats.”
