Accelerate space domain
awareness training and operations.
At AMOS 2023, come experience KWYN® SOLAR for yourself!
- Say goodbye to the old 2D. Watch complex space domain awareness (SDA) concepts come alive with our interactive, extended-reality KWYN SOLAR tool.
- Put on a VR or AR headset in our booth to test-drive KWYN SOLAR. Learn how it can help with space education and training.
- Meet the experts. Ask our team all your questions about SDA tools.
Charles River Analytics will be at AMOS!
September 19–22, 2023
KWYN SOLAR supports the understanding of 3D and 4D space concepts, including satellite structure, fuel consumption, orbital elements, conjunction risks, maneuver prediction and control, and other complex interactions.
KWYN SOLAR Short Course at AMOS
Hands-On, Interactive Astrodynamics Education in the Metaverse
Tuesday, September 19, 1–5 p.m.
Attend our short course and experience state-of-the-art space domain awareness using our KWYN SOLAR cutting-edge technologies.
Using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets, you will experience and learn about the fundamentals of space domain awareness. You will also grasp the basics of orbital mechanics, payload and spacecraft design, and command-and-control operations in an immersive 3D environment.
KWYN SOLAR is part of the Knows What You Need® (KWYN®) suite of adaptive intelligent training solutions from Charles River Analytics. This extended-reality tool is also part of a wide range of products we offer in the space domain.
Meet the team!

Daniel Stouch
Principal Scientist, Director of Space and Airborne Systems
Dan Stouch is a Principal Scientist and the Director of Space and Airborne Systems at Charles River Analytics. For over 25 years, Dan has successfully led many large R&D efforts for customers such as NASA, NOAA, DHS, and various DoD agencies. As part of DARPA’s Hallmark program, he led the development of the KWYN SOLAR XR application for SDA and a tool that fuses SDA data in a probabilistic model to analyze potential threats in space. Other recent work involves leading the development of autonomous planning algorithms for NASA satellites based on real-time imagery analysis of collected data to avoid missed Earth observation opportunities. Dan received his M.S. in Computer Science from Boston University and B.S. in Computer Science and Physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and he has completed Squadron Officer’s School, Air Command and Staff College, and Air War College from Air University. In addition to being a member of ACM, AUVSI, MORS, and PMI, Dan has volunteered for various emergency services organizations for the past 22 years conducting search and rescue operations.

Rob Hyland
Principal Scientist, Director of Program Transition
Rob leads Charles River’s Program Transition, which translates our extensive R&D cutting-edge research portfolio into operational use. His current technology focus areas include intelligent training, predictive maintenance, human-machine autonomy, cyber security, and human sensing. Rob has been actively engaged in the space community, transitioning technology into operational use. For example, Mr. Hyland has collaborated with Space Force, Air Force, and Intelligence community stakeholders to operationally field DARPA Hallmark technology, such as the SOLAR SDA common operational picture (COP).
With expertise in AI, behavioral models, and mixed-initiative decision support, Rob has directed innovations that value nearly $100M. He has nearly 25 years of experience researching decision support, workflow automation, plan assessment, knowledge representation, computer languages, compilers, program synthesis, formal methods, and cyber technologies. Rob also developed decision-support tools that were deployed to three US Intelligence Agencies for operational use. He received his MS in Computer Science from Michigan State University, where he worked on AI, intelligent tutoring systems, and modeling semantic memory retrieval, and a BS from Elmhurst College.
