IONOSPHERIC SENSORS
Orion’s ionospheric sensors deliver advanced monitoring and analysis with exceptional accuracy, providing real-time data to enhance satellite communications, navigation and scientific research. Designed for defense, space operations and atmospheric research, they ensure actionable intelligence from any platform.
TRIDENT
TRIDENT is a unique Doppler radar system that is designed to observe and measure the propagation properties of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs). TRIDENT can capture data of gravity waves propagating from rapidly moving point sources, such as hypersonic objects, in near-real-time. The system employs a network of synchronized receivers across wide geographic areas to triangulate and track ionospheric perturbations with high temporal and spatial resolution. Its advanced signal processing algorithms can differentiate between natural and artificial sources of ionospheric disturbances, making it valuable for both scientific research and surveillance applications.
OSIRIS
The Ocean Stabilized Ionospheric Remote Imaging Sensor (OSIRIS) utilizes Orion’s advanced ionospheric sensing technology to capture high-resolution space physics data from mobile and moored ocean platforms. Designed to withstand the challenges of the marine environment, OSIRIS enables continuous and precise monitoring of ionospheric activity over remote and dynamic ocean regions. By providing understanding into space weather and ionospheric disturbances, OSIRIS empowers scientists to improve modeling, enhance communication reliability and advance our understanding of the Earth-space system.
RIO
The RIO dual-frequency GPS sensor represents the state of the art for advanced GPS space weather monitoring. RIO is a software-based GPS receiver focused on characterizing ionospheric disturbances and space weather events, both of which can have an impact on wartime theatre support infrastructures, such as power grids, GPS position and timing accuracy and tactical communication disruptions.
