Poland, September 2024. Głuchołazy. The Nysa Kłodzka river
crossed the alarm threshold. 628 buildings in the flood zone.
The Prime Minister sat in a Wrocław conference room with a
whiteboard and a phone. BUT ...Nobody could answer one
question: how many drones do we have
within 30 kilometres?
OROS — Open Resilience Operating System — is a real-time
crisis coordination system that bridges satellite data
and field resources.
Three layers:
- ARGOS: open marketplace of certified drone operators,
real-time availability across the region
- TRITON: signal engine — one alert activates all available
operators within geographic range, sub-2-minute dispatch
- OROS dashboard: single decision interface — flood map,
triage priority, one-click dispatch, timestamped log
David doesn't need his own Goliath. He just needs access
to the Goliath data. A mayor of a 12,000-person municipality
"controls" ESA satellite infrastructure. No own fleet.
No tender. 30-day deployment.

EU SPACE TECHNOLOGIES:
Copernicus Sentinel-1 SAR — flood extent mapping through
clouds, real-time. We use EMSR756 activation data from
the actual September 2024 Poland floods via the public
Copernicus Data Space API — no CEMS authorisation required
at municipal level.
Galileo GNSS — real-time positioning of field resources
(certified drone operators). Sub-metre accuracy for
resource dispatch coordination.
Both data sources are open, free and EU-sovereign —
any Polish municipality can access them without
institutional agreements or budget barriers.

CHALLENGE #3: DISASTER RISK MONITORING
Extreme flood events are becoming more frequent — PAN
Committee confirmed 2× higher probability. Poland 2024
flood losses: ~20 billion PLN. 60% uninsured.
OROS addresses disaster risk by providing:
- Early warning integration: IMGW flood thresholds trigger
automatic TRITON alerts
- Real-time situational awareness: Sentinel-1 SAR flood
extent updated continuously during the event
- Coordinated response: certified operators dispatched
to priority zones within 2 minutes of alarm
- Post-crisis documentation: timestamped decision log
ready for audit, insurance and EU Solidarity Fund
From reactive chaos to proactive coordination — before
the crisis overwhelms local decision-makers.
