Orchestrate SATCOM without manual intervention or outages

Enterprise SATCOM management orchestrates bandwidth, terminals, satellites, and ground infrastructure across government and commercial networks through centralized control instead of fragmented stovepipe systems. Traditional approaches manage UHF, Ka, Ku, X-band separately, requiring operators to jump between multiple tools without unified visibility into network health or capacity utilization. Dynamic enterprise management provides a single operating picture showing real-time satellite status, bandwidth allocation, and service health across all bands and constellations simultaneously. This reduces operator workload, eliminates manual coordination delays, and enables dynamic resource optimization that manual processes cannot achieve. Auria's EM&C program demonstrates this approach for Space Force enterprise SATCOM operations.

Autonomous orchestration uses AI-powered software to manage satellite resources, bandwidth allocation, and terminal provisioning without requiring manual operator intervention for routine decisions. Systems like KOS (Kythera Operating System) receive service requests electronically, provision bandwidth automatically, select optimal satellite paths based on latency and coverage requirements, handle mobility handovers, and make ongoing decisions to preserve signal quality. Operators guide, monitor, and troubleshoot rather than manually configuring every parameter. This enables SATCOM operations to scale beyond human capacity while responding to changing conditions minute-by-minute faster than manual processes allow. Autonomous orchestration integrates space segment satellites, ground segment modems and gateways, and terminal assets into a unified management platform.

KOS (Kythera Operating System) orchestrates satellites, ground infrastructure, and multi-orbit constellation operations. KOS operates at satellite level managing beam pointing, power allocation, frequency assignments, mobility support with handovers across LEO/MEO/GEO constellations, and autonomous threat mitigation for weather and interference. Organizations typically use both together: KOS orchestrates satellite and ground resources, creating end-to-end SATCOM management from space to edge.

Auria treats heterogeneous satellite networks as a unified capacity pool rather than separate stovepipe systems requiring different management platforms for each constellation type. KOS manages hybrid multi-orbit networks orchestrating LEO, MEO, GEO, and HEO satellites through integrated architecture that selects optimal paths based on mission requirements. For latency-sensitive applications, system routes through LEO. For persistent coverage, select GEO. Software automatically handles constellation-specific characteristics including rapid LEO handovers, MEO regional coverage patterns, and GEO station-keeping. This agnostic approach enables operators to leverage commercial and government SATCOM as a unified resource without managing technical differences between orbit types. Future interoperable SATCOM architectures require this multi-orbit orchestration capability that traditional single-constellation management systems cannot provide.

Over-the-air management configures SATCOM terminals remotely through network connections instead of requiring physical site visits for parameter changes, software updates, or troubleshooting. Traditional terminal management requires technicians to drive to sites, connect locally, manually configure settings, and test changes individually per terminal. This dramatically reduces operational costs, enables rapid response to mission changes, and eliminates delays from email-based manual coordination between operators. For mobile terminals and tactical operations, over-the-air management is the only practical approach since physical access is impossible or operationally impractical during missions.

BMS (Beam Management System) dynamically shapes satellite beams through real-time coefficient generation and machine learning optimization rather than using static beam plans that waste power and capacity. The system continuously analyzes traffic patterns, weather conditions like rain fade, and interference threats, then adjusts beam shapes, power allocation, and sidelobe suppression automatically to maximize capacity and service quality. For rain fade mitigation, BMS adapts broadcast beams to concentrate power where weather degrades signals. For interference, the system performs real-time nulling to suppress jammers without manual operator intervention. Machine learning improves performance over time by learning optimal beam configurations for different operational scenarios. This automated beamforming increases satellite capacity, improves spectrum utilization, reduces service outages, and enables flexible payload designs that static systems cannot support.

Yes. Auria software uses open APIs, standard interfaces, and vendor-agnostic architecture designed to integrate with existing satellite control systems, ground infrastructure, and terminals without requiring wholesale replacement. KOS — the Kythera Operating System, now part of Auria's portfolio — integrates with baseband modems, gateways, network operations centers, and enterprise management systems through published APIs. Government programs like EM&C (Enterprise Management & Control) demonstrate integration across multiple vendors and legacy systems, proving interoperability in complex, heterogeneous environments where rigid proprietary solutions often struggle.

Space Systems Command chose Auria for EM&C (Enterprise Management and Network Capabilities) modernizing Space Force enterprise SATCOM management across all bands with a single common operating picture. Program eliminates stovepipe coordination between UHF, Ka, Ku, X-band operations, now operational as program of record. JAM (Joint Antenna Marketplace) uses Astro Scheduler to automate commercial antenna bandwidth allocation augmenting military capacity through dynamic routing and repurposing based on priorities. International satellite manufacturers license Auria software for commercial deployments. A commercial imagery operator uses Auria scheduling software for international collection planning. These government and commercial deployments validate capability at enterprise scale beyond prototype demonstrations.

HeliOS software orchestrates satellites, optimizes bandwidth, manages beams, and mitigates threats at network level, while Beacon hardware provides ground stations, virtual modems, and tactical radios connecting satellites to warfighters at physical layer. KOS orchestrates which satellites serve which terminals then Beacon radios and ground stations execute those communications using software-defined waveforms. For example, KOS selects the optimal LEO satellite for low-latency mission, SCOUT radio implements waveform using software-defined processing. This integrated approach provides end-to-end SATCOM from payload management through ground infrastructure to tactical edge through unified architecture. Software intelligence at the network layer combined with hardware flexibility at edge enables rapid waveform changes, multi-constellation support, and autonomous orchestration that neither software-only nor hardware-only solutions achieve independently.
