History
In 2022, Safran acquired Orolia, now Safran Trusted 4D, the world leader in Resilient PNT. At the intersection of critical infrastructure and national defense, Safran Trusted 4D solutions govern and protect the integrity of systems that shape the world.
In early 2019, Orolia Defense & Security spun off as a separate entity from its parent company Orolia, with the mission of providing resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) solutions and custom engineering services to U.S. Government agencies, U.S. Defense organizations, and their contractors.
In August of 2019, Orolia Defense & Security acquired Talen-X, a U.S. company specializing in advanced GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Simulation solutions and Interference, Detection, and Mitigation (IDM) technologies.
Talen-X traces its roots to 2016 after 10 founding employees with career-long expertise in PNT and GNSS recognized significant gaps in the marketplace. Tired of tools and equipment that fell short of their needs, they began to create their own solutions. What started as a way to overcome limitations, was the catalyst for products that help engineers work faster and better.
