Orion Space Solutions (Orion) is collaborating with Microsoft to enhance the space architecture of the U.S. Department of Defense with a pioneering development — the NEXUS Electromagnetic Data Mesh Network for Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) [aka NEXUS Space Network].
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing data interoperability and synchronized decision advantage integration between Joint Forces, as well as allies and partner nations.
The NEXUS Space Network, the world’s first, cross-domain, cognitive electromagnetic, data mesh, addresses the way ground and on-orbit data is harnessed, enabling unparalleled access to vital information for the U.S. Department of Defense and coalition forces.
By seamlessly integrating Orion and Microsoft’s secure, enterprise-grade NEXUS Electromagnetic Data-as-a-Service (EDaaS) capabilities, this strategic collaboration empowers the CJADC2 initiative, delivering a unified cross-domain identity across the Microsoft Azure Government and Azure Commercial environments.
The strategic relationship between OSS and Microsoft will help to advance innovation and unlock future possibilities. Together, a future is envisioned where space exploration and data interoperability transcend boundaries and forge new horizons.
“Through our collective efforts, Microsoft and Orion are poised to reshape the landscape of space domain intelligence, equipping DoD service members with the tools they need to carry out their missions safely, effectively, and efficiently. This strategic collaboration combines our deep understanding of space missions and classical and quantum mechanical data expertise, supporting the DoD to integrate data capabilities, space assets, and reference architectures for a totally combined coalition force.” — Chad Fish, COO, Orion
“Our cutting-edge EDaaS mesh network will deliver combined interoperability to the U.S. Government and its allies, laying a robust foundation for imminent on-orbit space quantum collaboration.” — Dr. Samih Fadli, Chief Information Officer of Orion
“Working with Orion to support NEXUS on Azure will help accelerate national security missions and enable the U.S. Department of Defense to advance data superiority and interoperability to achieve their goal of transforming space operations. Together with Orion, we are redefining possibilities and driving innovation in the space domain.” — Wes Anderson, Vice President for Defense, Microsoft Federal
