""Project Orbian is about building this dynamic digital twin concept," said Michael Wollersheim, Director of Analytics for , one of the five partner companies in Project Orbian. "[With GPS], once you've got a slice of the data, it immediately starts going stale. So it's out of date the moment you capture it. Being able to update and refresh that as fast as you can in real-time from different sources is what this [initiative] is about.""
"Humanity relies heavily on GPS for a lot of functions of daily life -- from automobile navigation to public transit to ride sharing services to finding lost devices to the emergency response system to traffic management in cities to precision planting and machine navigation in agriculture, just to name a few. However, as a technology, we're starting to run up against the limitations of GPS. One of its biggest limitations is that the data gets outdated very quickly."
Project Orbion aims to create a real-time, dynamic 3D digital twin of Earth by integrating multiple sensing technologies and partner capabilities. The platform will refresh geospatial data continuously from diverse sources to avoid the staleness of static GPS-derived maps. The initiative targets difficult environments and situations where traditional GPS is unreliable, while also serving everyday needs like navigation, emergency response, traffic management, and precision agriculture. Five partner companies with roots in defense are collaborating to combine next-generation mapping, analytics, and real-time updating to deliver advanced visualization, anticipation, and navigation capabilities worldwide.
