Zeus's Lightning

Program Overview

Zeus’s Lightning is Orion Strike Technologies’ planned space-domain program focused on the development of autonomous orbital systems supporting intelligence, surveillance, resilient communications, and future space logistics. The program is structured to build upon validated autonomy, communications, and energy technologies matured across air and maritime domains, enabling disciplined expansion into space operations.

Representative System Families

Orbital ISR & Space Domain Awareness Platforms - Planned autonomous orbital systems designed to support space-domain awareness, persistent surveillance, and secure data collection in support of defense and allied operations.
Resilient Space Communications & Relay Nodes - Space-based communications platforms intended to provide assured connectivity, network redundancy, and cross-domain data relay under contested or degraded space and terrestrial conditions.
On-Orbit Logistics & Sustainment Systems - Planned autonomous orbital capabilities supporting inspection, servicing, refueling, repositioning, and future logistics operations to extend mission life and reduce reliance on ground-based intervention.
Kenetic/Non-Kinetic Space Protection & Defensive Systems - Future space-domain capabilities focused on offensive, kenetic measures, defensive, non-kinetic measures to protect orbital assets, preserve mission continuity, and enhance resilience against disruption.
Energy Management & Power Sustainment Concepts - Planned orbital energy systems supporting long-duration operations, autonomous power management, and sustained mission endurance derived from Orion Strike Technologies’ energy resilience research.

From Program to Deployable Systems

The Neptune’s Trident program translates these system families into mission-configured maritime platforms tailored to operational requirements across surface and subsurface environments. Detailed system configurations are realized through Orion Strike Technologies’ system portfolio and core technology stack, enabling scalable and resilient maritime operations in contested conditions.
