Each year, National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) hosts the Special Operations Forces Conference (SOFIC), bringing members of the special forces community together to discuss the latest challenges facing U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the defense industry and opportunities to enhance operations and embrace innovation.

The newest military-grade technology is a primary feature of SOFIC as special operations forces (SOF) search for next-generation tools that support the demands of their missions now and in the future. This year, Orion will join Carahsoft to showcase how Orion’s innovative PTT 2.0 transforms frontline teams.

Schedule a Meeting at SOFIC 2022

Here are four ways PTT 2.0 benefits special operations forces:

#1 Voice AI Bots that help frontline teams respond faster and accomplish more with the same resources.

Voice AI Bots participate in Orion PTT talk groups and are always on and always ready to perform complex, multi-step workflows that offload routine processes, respond to voice queries, and perform tasks based on commands, events, and actions. SOF teams use Voice AI Bots to increase efficiency and amplify their abilities on the go with automated workflows like checklists, geofence or location-based triggers, emergency or all call alerts, language translation, and more.

#2 All communications are secure with end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

E2EE is non-negotiable for military-grade communication technology. Orion PTT 2.0 incorporates E2EE from the foundation up, meaning special operations forces can confidently rely on our technology to communicate via voice, text, photos, videos, and files such as PDFs. All messages are end-to-end encrypted using AES-256 with ephemeral keys and are compliant with the FIPS 140-2 standard.

#3 3rd-party integrations bring voice into crucial special ops solutions.

Field and government technology like ATAK (Android Team Awareness/Tactical Assault Kit), geospatial systems like ESRI, and more are critical to staying situationally aware in the field. Orion PTT 2.0 uses its API layer and integrations to enable teams to give voice to these systems and access valuable data in third-party systems while heads up and on the go.

#4 Voice-first communications connect teams over any range, location, or device.

Special operations forces cannot be limited by range, geography, or device when communicating with their teams or operational command centers. Orion PTT 2.0 removes these constraints supporting its platform over any device and any IP connection, whether LTE (public or private), Wi-Fi, satellite, or mesh. This flexibility promotes instant scalability access to meet the demands of any mission on a local, regional, and global level.

The communication and collaboration technology that Defense and Intelligence teams use is critical to building a new digital ecosystem. Orion’s Push-to-Talk (PTT) 2.0 offers field teams the opportunity to digitally advance beyond outdated communications methods like analog or digital Land Mobile Radios or even using multiple devices to meet all communication requirements.

Now, Defense and Intelligence teams can unlock the transformation needed to compete and thrive against today’s challenging global threats. Orion’s Push-to-Talk 2.0 digitally transforms government operations teams with:

Secure, Flexible Communications

Orion’s PTT 2.0 offers a new alternative to dated and unsecure communication tools. The intelligent collaboration platform starts with voice PTT communication and adds text, picture, video, and file sharing, so frontline teams can remain heads up while on missions but also have the flexibility in how they share information. This ability enhances situational intelligence and improves field team incident response.

Dynamic communication groups are table stakes for today’s field teams. Orion’s PTT 2.0 enables government operations to spin up and close down 1:1 or group communications instantly. Team members can rapidly share information with relevant personnel, key subject matter experts, or response teams.

Secure communications are also a core part of Orion’s collaboration platform. Orion’s PTT 2.0 platform and message service is end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) at AES256 level with ephemeral keys and is certified to the FIPS 140-2, NSA Suite B cipher to protect your proprietary and sensitive information, communications, and — most important — your deskless workers.
