Today’s global security environment is increasingly complex. This year, innovators and experts across the Defense and Intelligence Communities will soon gather to discuss Foresight 20/20: Building a New Digital Ecosystem at the 2021 Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DoDIIS) Worldwide Conference.

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 Orion’s Push-to-Talk (PTT) 2.0 offers field teams the opportunity to digitally advance beyond outdated communications methods like analog or digital Land Mobile Radios or even using multiple devices to meet all communication requirements.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.

Connectivity Over Any Network, Any Device, Anywhere

The Department of Defense and Intelligence Community oversee dynamic field operations across the globe and need a reliable communication and collaboration platform that supports each mission’s unique needs. To this end, Orion’s PTT 2.0 platform helps field teams and operations centers stay connected over any network, any device, and anywhere.

Field teams can use any smartphone or tablet, including ruggedized devices and accessories, and instantly connect with team members or operations centers with unlimited range over any available network. The Orion Platform also offers the ability to bridge communications with land mobile radios (LMR), Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Deployment options include in-cloud, on-premise, or air-gapped.

Centralized Operational Visibility

Field teams and operations centers rely on complete situational awareness and actionable insights to keep team members safe and operationally effective. Orion’s PTT 2.0 platform enhances operational visibility with the geolocation of individual team members, so each unit and dispatcher are always in sync.

Leaders use the location and multimodal communications intelligence that Orion’s PTT 2.0 provides to gain a complete, real-time view of on-the-ground operations. Ultimately, teams can use this information to improve decision-making, safety, and incident response.

Voice-Activated Automation and Integrations with Field Team Technology

Field teams need cutting-edge, innovative solutions that help them do more with less. Orion’s communication and collaboration platform automates processes with intelligent Voice AI Bots and workflows that serve as added team members in talk groups. The always-on Bots respond to voice queries and perform tasks based on commands, events, and actions.

Bots support routine activities like incident reporting by recording and archiving all metadata like communications and geolocation information for future analysis (unless mission parameters require all information wiped upon completion, of course). Bots can respond to voice queries for info from manuals, guides, or documents or help with real-time language translation to improve response and context.

Orion’s Voice Bots provide an advantage for field teams facing complex missions or adversaries. Teams use Orion Voice Bots to bolster their communication by integrating with critical field team technology. Solutions like ATAK (Android Team Awareness/Tactical Assault Kit) support precision targeting, surrounding land formation intelligence, situational awareness, navigation, data sharing, and more. Teams can now access these critical solutions via voice, remaining heads-up and situationally aware.

Modern, intelligent communication and collaboration technology is a critical component in building a better digital ecosystem for the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community. Orion’s Push-to-Talk 2.0 platform provides the digital transformation field teams need to remain competitive in today’s global security environment.

Orion at NSAICE: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in National Security

Orion Co-Founder and CTO on the Use of AI and ML for Situational Intelligence in Field Communications

Orion’s Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Greg Albrecht recently spoke at the National Defense Industry Association’s (NDIA’s) National Security AI Conference and Exhibition (NSCAICE) to national security and defense professionals on how voice-first advanced technology with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can support their missions.

Watch the 7-Minute Presentation from NSAICE

AI is reshaping the technology landscape. According to NDIA, AI is critical to increasing the competitive advantage of the United States and its allies. Recently, the White House further emphasized the importance of advancements in AI by launching the new National Artificial Intelligence Initiative to “oversee and implement the United States national AI strategy.”

As NDIA notes, global powers are racing to pursue and develop AI capabilities. However, the U.S. has access to the most advanced technologies and the most innovative companies worldwide. Today, innovations in artificial intelligence offer frontline national security teams the strategic ability to make more informed and strategic decisions.

This is where AI technology like Orion comes in. The national security and defense workforce is composed of hundreds of thousands of individuals — many of whom operate away from a desk, on the frontlines, or in the field. NDIA asked Orion to speak at NSAICE on how Orion uses AI to support these frontline teams in intelligence, national security, force protection, and global security.

Watch the video presentation to learn how Orion’s intelligent collaboration platform offers national security agencies the ability to transform their operations to meet the rapidly progressing needs of today’s global security environment.

Learn How Orion Digitally Transforms National Security Operations

In the seven-minute presentation, “Intelligence Amplification for Field Communications,” Orion’s Albrecht shares insights and discusses:

Use cases for Orion in physical security, national security, defense, intelligence, and homeland security agencies
How Orion’s workflows heighten response to emergencies
Orion’s automation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
How security teams benefit from Orion’s real-time situational awareness
The added value Orion provides across security operations
