The Orion Gen 6 is Ultra I&C’s latest generation family of tactical radio systems and is the culmination of over 100 years of tactical radio technology and waveform innovation. The Orion Gen 6 is the most capable multi-channel, multi-waveform family of tactical radios on the market today for land, aerial and naval applications. This solution leads the way in line-of-sight and mesh technologies, providing an interoperable family of systems to bridge the Upper and Lower tactical tiers and reduce overall cost of ownership. The new family of radios from Ultra I&C are more powerful, have additional range and are significantly smaller than all previous generations. Orion Gen 6 is interoperable with previous generation Ultra I&C tactical radios, providing seamless integration with currently fielded TRILOS and LRS systems.
Orion X650
The Orion X650 is a two-channel MIMO tactical radio designed to meet the needs of the connected war fighter today and to evolve to meet ongoing tactical communications requirements well into the future. It’s low SWAP and high throughput is ideally suited to ensure next-generation, digitized command post mobility and survivability. The Orion X650 has the most advanced resiliency features ever to be delivered with a tactical radio system for assured LPI/LPD. With a modular, multi-band, multi-waveform software-defined architecture, the Orion X650 is well-suited to meet any current or future tactical communications operational needs.
Key Features
Two-channel, very high bandwidth tactical radio
True 4x4 MIMO for optimal resilience
Supports PTP, PMP and Mesh
Lowest SWAP high-capacity radio on the market
Native anti-jam and LPD/LPI capabilities
AI/ML ready
Orion X630
The Orion X630 is a very small form-factor, two-channel MIMO tactical radio ideally suited for Vertical Height Antennas (VHA), drones, or any other application where low SWAP is a key requirement. The Orion X630 is the most capable two-channel radio ever to be produced by Ultra I&C in a small form factor and will be a game-changer for on-the-move and beyond-line-of-sight communications. The Orion X630 will benefit from the same great resiliency features of the X650 and is AI/ML ready. It can also be quickly deployed on a VHA such as the Hoverfly Spectre™, providing wide-area network coverage ideal in dense foliage or mountainous environments. Like the Orion X650, the Orion X630 can be configured to support point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and MESH topologies.
Key Features
Two-channel radio ideal for VHA applications
True 4x4 MIMO for optimal resilience
Supports PTP, PMP and Mesh
Highest-throughput drone-ready tactical radio
Native anti-jam and LPD/LPI capabilities
AI/ML ready
