Stage of adaption :
Crop planning stage, Cultivation stage, Post-harvest stage
TECHNOLOGY BRIEF
Orbital Micro Systems’ (www.orbitalmicro.com ) mission is to provide the highest fidelity weather and earth data to decision makers. We are doing this by creating the most accurate weather data ever available with our on-orbit microwave satellite constellation, and collecting data and enhancing it into a format that is easy for our customers to consume and use to make transformational business decisions.
BENEFITS
• Improve security and profitability in every aspect of a crop’s life-cycle.
• Improved temperature and precipitations forecasting • Pre and post extreme event monitoring for accurate crop yield valuation effects.
• Flood monitoring improvement
• Insurance Index and pricing improvements
• Increase confidence in crop risk levels drive more access to financing and insurance.
TECHNOLOGY READINESS
MVP stage
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Technology Not Protected
CERTIFICATION
Certified by
United States Naval Research Lab – noise and sensitivity validated as superior to US government assets.
United States Airforce AFWRX – Validated quality of data sets and approved for research integration
TARGET CUSTOMERS
Insurance providers, Banks, government agriculture and disaster agencies
SCALABILITY
Extremely scalable. Data platform and tools have repeated usability for any crop and any location in the world.
LIMITATIONS
There is a higher than normal CapEx in the launch of our satellite fleet. One of the challenges we are solving is the availablity of new and high temporal data that allows for next generation crop products to be developed. We are the only commercial company in the world that flys it’t own microwave satellite fleet and such we only limited by the number of satellites that are on orbit. We will be launching the core of our fleet in Spring 2021 but can currently support the development of the product now.
TECHNOLOGY COST
Data and platform subscriptions are variable by land area, temporality, and latency. 18 crore RUP to 188 crore RUP annually subscription rates.
SOCIAL IMPACT
improved safety, security, and prosperity for the food chain and improved quality of life for farmers through better access to capital and crop earnings control.
