OREYEON PRESENTA EN ESPAÑA SU TECNOLOGÍA BASADA EN INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL PARA ELEVAR LA SEGURIDAD EN LOS AEROPUERTOS

 Nota de prensa

  •  Su tecnología permite detectar en tiempo real objetos extraños y daños en las pistas aeroportuarias, reduciendo el riesgo de incidentes y optimizando significativamente los costes de mantenimiento.
  • La expansión cuenta con el respaldo estratégico de Jota2 Group y otros socios
  • clave de referencia en el sector aeronáutico.




Oreyeon, empresa especializada en soluciones de
inteligencia artificial para la seguridad operativa en aeropuertos y bases aéreas valorada
en 65 millones de euros, anuncia su llegada al mercado español. La compañía pone al
servicio de operadores civiles y militares una solución fiable y alineada con los estándares
internacionales más exigentes. Su sistema Runway Surface Monitoring System (RSMS) ha sido desarrollado para detectar objetos extraños en pista (FOD, por sus siglas en inglés) y
daños en el pavimento en tiempo real.


Su despliegue en aeropuertos de Oriente Medio y Estados Unidos ha permitido reducir los
tiempos de inspección en más de un 40% y, sobre todo, prevenir accidentes mediante la
detección temprana de objetos extraños en zonas críticas como pistas, calles de rodaje y
plataformas. Esta capacidad de anticipación resulta clave para evitar incidentes que
pueden comprometer vidas humanas. Además, el sistema optimiza la gestión del
mantenimiento con un enfoque predictivo y ha demostrado reducir los costes operativos
hasta en un 70%. Los FOD no solo representan una amenaza silenciosa, sino también
costosa: cada año provocan más de 23.000 millones de dólares en pérdidas para la
industria de la aviación.


Ziad Jreijiri, CEO y cofundador de Oreyeon, ha destacado: “En Oreyeon creemos que la
tecnología debe resolver problemas reales y urgentes. La seguridad en pista es uno de
ellos: cualquier objeto no detectado puede tener consecuencias devastadoras. Nuestra
misión es clara: salvar vidas gracias a la tecnología. Queremos ofrecer a aeropuertos y
operadores una herramienta fiable, ágil y alineada con los más altos estándares
internacionales”.


La solución contra una amenaza invisible para los pasajeros
El FOD (Foreign Object Debris/Damage) no solo representa un coste económico
significativo —con pérdidas anuales de 23.000 millones de dólares para la industria
aérea—, sino que también puede poner vidas en riesgo. Un caso emblemático fue el
accidente del vuelo 4590 de Air France en el año 2000, cuando un Concorde se estrelló
poco después del despegue desde París-Charles de Gaulle con destino a Nueva York,
provocando la muerte de 113 personas. La causa: un fragmento metálico en la pista que
reventó un neumático. Los restos del neumático impactaron el ala y perforaron un tanque
de combustible, provocando un incendio y la posterior pérdida de control del avión. Este
suceso marcó un punto de inflexión en la regulación sobre seguridad en pista a nivel
global.


Veinte años más tarde, en el año 2020, un vuelo de Air Canada despegando del
Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas con destino a Toronto sufrió un incidente grave
tras impactar con un objeto de 7 cm en la pista. La explosión de un neumático dañó un
motor y obligó a declarar emergencia. Aunque no hubo heridos, el caso confirmó que el
FOD sigue siendo una amenaza real para la seguridad aérea.
RSMS: detección en tiempo real, decisiones en minutos
Oreyeon ha desarrollado una solución que transforma por completo el paradigma actual.
Mientras muchos aeropuertos aún dependen de inspecciones manuales, el sistema RSMS—equipado con sensores inteligentes instalados en vehículos convencionales o
autónomos— realiza inspecciones completas en menos de cinco minutos, incluso en
condiciones meteorológicas adversas o en zonas sin conectividad a internet. Además de
identificar la presencia de objetos extraños en pista, el sistema detecta su ubicación
precisa y los clasifica según su tamaño y material, lo que permite una respuesta rápida y
eficaz por parte del personal en tierra. Gracias a esta automatización, el tiempo de
inspección se reduce en más de un 40% y los costes asociados descienden hasta en un
70%. Su tecnología permite operar tanto de día como de noche, garantizando una
operatividad continua y fiable las 24 horas del día.


El sistema está compuesto por tres módulos integrados:

  1. MDU – Mobile Detection Unit: Unidad móvil equipada con cámaras y sensores que se instala en cualquier vehículo de soporte del aeropuerto, sin necesidad de infraestructura adicional. Utiliza visión artificial e IA para detectar en tiempo real FOD y daños en el pavimento, clasificando automáticamente el nivel de riesgo.
  2. IDRA – Intelligent Detection & Reporting App: Herramienta digital diseñada para inspectores y personal operativo en pista, que permite reportar incidencias al instante mediante realidad aumentada. Automatiza los informes en tan solo 20 segundos y acelera la toma de decisiones.
  3. Analytics Dashboard: Plataforma que centraliza los datos recogidos y activa modelos predictivos que anticipan zonas de riesgo o deterioro, permitiendo una planificación de mantenimiento más eficiente.

Gracias a esta tecnología, el sistema RSMS permite a los aeropuertos pasar de un modelo
reactivo a una gestión proactiva de la seguridad, alineada con los estándares de la
Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (OACI), la Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) y los programas de Smart Airports.


Apuesta estratégica por España


Oreyeon ofrece una solución probada, escalable y con retorno inmediato: la implantación
del sistema RSMS puede generar ahorros de hasta tres millones de euros al año por pista
operativa. Ahora con oficinas en Madrid, su interés por el mercado español coincide con
un momento clave de transformación en el sector aeroportuario, donde la digitalización,
la eficiencia operativa y la capacidad de respuesta ante amenazas son ya prioridades para
operadores civiles y militares. La compañía ya ha realizado pruebas con AENA, reforzando
su compromiso con la implantación de tecnología avanzada en aeropuertos clave del país.
Esta iniciativa cuenta con el respaldo de Jota2 Group, inversor especializado en tecnología
y sectores estratégicos, que ha acompañado a Oreyeon desde sus primeras etapas. A ello
se suma la incorporación de varios socios, entre los cuales se encuentra Corporación
Financiera Azuaga, actor de referencia en el ámbito aeronáutico, reforzando así la solidez
del proyecto en su despliegue europeo.

RESOLUTE SPACE 25: Space Force Guardians ready to lead service’s largest exercise

press release

JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii --  More than 700 Guardians around the world are prepared to participate in a U.S. Space Force led large-scale exercise, Resolute Space 2025, which will demonstrate the Space Force's preparedness for complex, large-scale military operations.

The exercise will be conducted in partnership with joint and international forces and demonstrates the ability to operate in a contested, dynamic environment against high-end threats on short notice. Space superiority is an indispensable prerequisite to the success of the Joint Force. Resolute Space enhances the skills of Guardians to deter and, if necessary, defeat adversary aggression threatening the U.S. and its allies and partners.

"Resolute Space sends a clear message: Guardians are prepared to fight and win in space shoulder to shoulder with our joint and allied partners," said Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman. "By training at this unprecedented scale, we're sharpening warfighter instincts, strengthening combat credibility, and proving our commitment to deliver peace through strength in the face of any challenge."

Resolute Space is integrated with the Air Force's exercise Resolute Force Pacific (REFORPAC), which together form the core of the 2025 Department Level Exercise series.

The intent of this Space Force-led exercise is to incorporate, at scale, space-based and space-enabled capabilities to include, but not limited to, space electromagnetic warfare, space domain awareness, orbital warfare, and navigational warfare.

"Resolute Space emphasizes our focus on readiness and training as we incorporate live, synthetic, and virtual space warfighting into an exercise of this magnitude. We've leveraged expertise across all functional areas to ensure Guardians internalize the scope and scale of their responsibilities to the joint force and to national security," said U.S. Space Force Col. Jay Steingold, Resolute Space exercise director. "The expertise and dedication required by the Resolute Space planning team to bring the exercise from conceptualization through planning and into execution is nothing short of remarkable. They have surged in their professional capacities and have been laser-focused on providing Guardians highly relevant and realistic exercise training opportunities."

Guardians will be operating out of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam; Peterson, Schriever, and Buckley Space Force Bases; and other locations in the U.S. and overseas. This concept of distributed operations provides effective warfighting capabilities to the joint and combined force around the world.

The nation depends on the Space Force to organize, train, and equip forces ready and able to conduct space warfighting operations. Resolute Space 2025 provides fundamental training to validate Guardian readiness.

During the height of World War II, as the United States mobilized its military power to support the Allies in Europe, a massive and ambitious operation was launched: Operation Bolero. Designed to transfer thousands of American aircraft and personnel across the Atlantic to the European theater, it would become one of the largest logistical airlifts of its time. But behind the scale and success of the operation lies a lesser-known story — one marked by perilous flights, deadly weather, and aircraft that simply vanished into the Arctic wilderness.
