Headquartered in Rochester, NY, Orolia Defense & Security, LLC (ODS) serves the defense, federal, and commercial markets with innovative resilient positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) solutions for the ground tactical, airborne, maritime, and security domains.

Orolia Defense & Security is composed of two businesses, Orolia Government Systems, Inc. (CAGE 826V3) focusing on Resilient PNT Technologies, and Talen-X, Inc. (CAGE 7NK54) focused on PNT Simulation and PNT Interference, Detection and Mitigation (IDM) Technologies. ODS is a subsidiary of the Orolia group, a global PNT solution provider with 450 employees and global revenues of $130M.

ODS operates as a proxy-regulated company, Free of Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI). In order to mitigate potential FOCI, Orolia, in concert with Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) agreed to a comprehensive series of stipulations and requirements known as a Proxy Agreement (the strongest mechanism for FOCI mitigation). As such, ODS is approved to work on the full spectrum of US Government classified and unclassified projects, and is positioned to support strategic partnerships in the development of key PNT technologies for the defense market.

Companies under Proxy Agreements, such as ODS, are regarded as U.S. owned companies for purposes of facility clearances and access to classified information. In accordance with National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual paragraph 2-303b, there are no restrictions on such company's eligibility to have access to classified information or to compete for classified contracts.

A Proxy Agreement places the voting rights of the stock or ownership interest into the hands of cleared U.S. citizens who are approved by the Federal Government. Under this arrangement, the foreign owner relinquishes control of the cleared facility and the foreign ownership, control and influence is negated.
