The ONYKS Solution
ONYKS is Crown Defence's operational platform offering multi-domain detection and response capabilities outlined here. The system is field-tested, compliant with regulations, and ready for deployment. Shield variants cater to aviation, energy, industrial, and public venue needs. Acoustic sensor networks monitor perimeters and airspace. Cognitive processing allows for real-time threat assessment. The platform connects with existing security systems using standard protocols.
ONYKS Shield CIV operates within civilian frequency regulations while maintaining detection and selective response capabilities. The system complies with CER Directive requirements through automated incident logging and report generation. Technical consultation, integration guidance, and operational support ensure effective deployment and sustained performance.
Aviation and Energy: Safeguarding Without Disruption
Aviation requires airspace protection without disrupting flight operations.
Detection offers early warning before unauthorized aircraft reach controlled zones. Integration with air traffic control systems ensures safety while enabling threat responses. Documentation supports aviation authority reporting requirements.
Energy infrastructure requires protection across scattered assets. Generation plants, substations, transmission lines, and renewable installations all need safeguarding. The system operates in remote locations with challenging electromagnetic environments. Protection functions without interfering with SCADA systems or operational communications.
Industrial facilities face threats such as commercial espionage and operational disruptions. Perimeter monitoring extends beyond physical boundaries into airspace and the electromagnetic spectrum. Integration with existing security infrastructure offers unified situational awareness.
Public venues need temporary protection tailored to event needs. Quick deployment adapts to different venue layouts. The system differentiates authorised media activities from real threats.
Government facilities require discreet protection while complying with regulatory constraints. Multi-domain monitoring offers comprehensive coverage without visible security upgrades.
Regulatory Compliance and Business Continuity
CER Directive compliance requires a documented risk assessment addressing physical and operational threats. The system generates incident logs and provides report templates that support regulatory documentation requirements. Threat data contributes to four-year assessment cycles. Performance metrics display resilience-enhancing measures.
Frequency regulation compliance guarantees operations stay within civilian spectrum allocations. Authorised frequencies are operated at permitted power levels. Selective targeting prevents indiscriminate disruption. Documentation shows adherence to regulations for licensing authorities.
Incident logging satisfies 24-hour notification standards. Automated timestamped records record threat detections, classification data, and system responses. Report templates conform to CER Directive formats, ensuring efficient incident documentation.
Business continuity is maintained through investment in protection rather than through costs caused by disruptions. Subscription-based services remove the need for capital expenditure. Included are system updates, technical support, and report template updates. Costs vary with facility requirements. Benefits are seen in reduced disruptions.
Technical consultation aids deployment planning. We deliver system specifications, integration guidance, and regulatory compliance documentation. Deployment is carried out by facility operators or their integration partners. Technical support persists throughout the operational lifecycle.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION
Airspace and Electromagnetic Security. Ensuring Operational Continuity.
Critical infrastructure faces threats that bypass traditional security perimeters. Unauthorised aerial vehicles, electromagnetic interference, and perimeter breaches occur through domains that conventional systems cannot monitor effectively.
Airports, energy facilities, industrial sites, and public venues require protection that maintains operations while meeting regulatory requirements. ONYKS offers multi-domain detection and response capabilities to address these needs.
Six Stages:
Monitoring to Improve
1. Monitor
Persistent surveillance maintains situational awareness. Baseline establishment identifies normal operational patterns, enabling anomaly detection.
2. Detect
Multi-domain sensor fusion identifies threats early. Aerial vehicles detected at distance provide advance warning. Electromagnetic anomalies occur before operational impact.
3. Assess
6. Improve
Cognitive analysis evaluates threat level, intent, and appropriate response by considering threat type, proximity to critical assets, and regulatory constraints.
Continuous learning improves detection sensitivity, classification precision, and response efficiency. System updates meet emerging needs without requiring hardware replacement.
4. Respond
Graduated protocols uphold proportionality. Active countermeasures are deployed only when passive monitoring proves inadequate and regulatory constraints allow.
5. Document
Detailed incident records aid regulatory compliance, liability mitigation, and operational enhancement.
