1Description

TORUS-CCISRT turns a facility sensor network into actionable security and infrastructure awareness. It ingests the prioritised event streams from every TORUS-MEG gateway, fuses them into a single geospatial common facility picture, and presents that picture to two kinds of operator at once: the teams monitoring from the security operations center, and the facility response staff acting on campus. Both see the same live state; each sees it in the form their job needs.

The same environment is used before deployment, not just during it: AI/HPC data center campuses are rehearsed as digital twins in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and the validated plan (node positions, gains, alarm policies) is promoted straight into the live facility picture.

2Two operator vantage points

Security operations center · coordinate & plan

Common facility picture

  • Map/GIS wall with live node, gateway, and mast state
  • Fused alarms with class, confidence, and location
  • Triage & prioritisation queue; acknowledge / escalate
  • Thermal and video tiles cued from the visual masts
  • Timeline scrub & forensic replay of any event
  • Deployment planning and Isaac Sim deployment rehearsal link
  • Node health, battery, and link dashboards
  • Multi-operator collaboration with role-based views
Facility response · act on campus

Facility response app

  • Handheld / tablet map with own position and node ring
  • Prioritised push alarms with bearing and distance
  • Cue a sensor or mast; request a snapshot on demand
  • Confirm, dismiss, or reclassify an event on campus
  • Offline-tolerant sync over the gateway / mesh
  • Shared picture with the security operations center in near real time

4Capabilities

AreaCapability
SecurityLive common facility picture; node/mast state; thermal & video tiles cued by events
DetectionFusion of seismic, acoustic, visual, and roadmap drone / UAS cues into single tracks with confidence
InspectionOn-demand sensor cueing, snapshot requests, and mast slew-to-cue from the operations center or campus
InfrastructureTimeline, forensic replay, operating patterns, and event history across the facility deployment
ControlNode configuration, gain and threshold policy, alarm rules, arm/disarm zones
ResponseTransducer command for facility response actuation under safety interlock - arm, safety-validate, then trigger; trigger refused until validation passes; every action audited
TierPre-deployment rehearsal in Isaac Sim; promote a TIA-942 and OCP-aligned plan to the live picture
CollaborationMulti-operator, role-based access, shared annotations, hand-off between security and facilities teams
IntegrationNorthbound integration API with PSIM, DCIM, BMS, VMS, SIEM, and Redfish adapters

5Deployment & platform

AspectApproach
HostingOn-premises or private cloud; fully air-gapped option for high-security facilities
Display systemSecurity operations center video wall + operator workstations; browser-based clients
Campus clientsAndroid tablets / handhelds for facility response workflows
SecurityRole-based access control, encrypted transport, signed updates, full audit log; TIA-942 and OCP-aligned evidence exports
ResilienceStore-and-forward at the gateway; the campus response app degrades gracefully when offline

6Status

TORUS-CCISRT is at concept / design-study stage. The node-side event schema is defined so that TORUS-SN and TORUS-MEG are operations-layer ready today; the operator applications, northbound API adapters, and fusion core are the next build phase after the facility sensing hardware is finalised. PacketFive Design Services can adapt TORUS-CCISRT workflows and integrations for other customer requirements.
