OROS — Open Resilience Operating System

Poland, September 2024. Głuchołazy. The Biała Głuchołaska river crossed the alarm threshold. Hundreds of buildings in the flood zone. The Prime Minister flew in. Cameras rolled. But nobody could answer one question: how many drones do we have within a 30-minute drive?

OROS — Open Resilience Operating System — is a real-time crisis coordination service that bridges satellite data and field resources.

Demo

Three layers:

- ARGOS: open marketplace of certified drone operators with real-time availability across the region

- TRITON: signal engine — one alert activates all available operators within geographic range, dispatch in minutes, not hours

- OROS dashboard: single decision interface — flood map, triage priority, one-click dispatch, timestamped audit log

David doesn't need his own Goliath. He just needs access to Goliath's data. A mayor of a small 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, near-real-time. We use EMSR756 activation data from the actual September 2024 Polish floods. Once activated, CEMS Rapid Mapping data is public — any municipality can consume it without further authorisation.

**Galileo GNSS** — real-time positioning of field resources (certified drone operators). Sub-metre accuracy for resource dispatch coordination, with the High Accuracy Service (HAS) on the roadmap.

**EGNOS** — augmentation layer ensuring positioning integrity for safety-critical operations.

All three 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 — climate models confirm increasing severity. Poland 2024 flood: 30+ billion PLN in damages, 749 affected localities, the majority of property 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 in minutes, not hours

- **Post-crisis documentation** — timestamped decision log ready for audit, insurance, and EU Solidarity Fund claims

From reactive chaos to proactive coordination — before the crisis overwhelms local decision-makers.
