OPUS Sofware
ORCA is the developer of the ORCA Planning and Utility System (OPUS), which is COTS software that includes tools for mission planning, analysis, and Air Tasking Order (ATO) importing. OPUS has been in development since 1991. It was first licensed by the USAF in 1993. Recently, OPUS technology enabled two Boeing J-UCAS X-45A unmanned aircraft to successfully complete graduation exercises. OPUS dynamically and autonomously replanned the vehicles’ missions while the vehicles were inflight.
