CoreCage
أقفاص العقد الحرجة
Net cages around small critical assets.
Status: Development concept — subject to study and testing
Image 1 — The three critical-node cages (conceptual)
Overview
The concept
Control rooms, electrical substations and pump stations are small, but their loss can stop a whole site. Net cages surround them with a safety distance, with openings for entrances, ventilation and cables.
Proposed purpose
To study protecting critical nodes as a logical starting point in phased implementation plans.
