Main projects
| v | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project | Development of the Galaxy platform for data exchange in nanosatellite constellations |
Automated Domain Name Verification System for the Gaming Control Authority (LPT) under the Lithuanian Finance Ministry |
Upgrade of the State Register of Sources of Ionizing Radiation and Occupational Exposure maintained by the Radiation Protection Centre |
Development of the National Information Impact Identification and Analysis Ecosystem (NAAS) |
Upgrade of Lithuanian State Tax Inspectorate (VMI) information systems |
| Scope | Elsis PRO is developing data communication solutions to enable nanosatellites to efficiently and rapidly transmit data to the nearest ground station. The system that is in development will help find the optimal way to deliver data the fastest and to prioritise data. The system is being developed using Data Distribution Service (DDS) technology for decentralised solutions. The project is a continuation of the first phase of Galaxy, which the company completed in 2020. It is being carried out and funded under a programme of the European Space Agency. |
Software was developed using Microsoft .NET technologies for the automated Domain Name Systems (DNS) verification. It checks whether websites on the LPT's list of remote gambling sites are blocked by an internet service provider. The solution makes it easier to trace and inspect illegal online gambling sites operating in Lithuania. |
The first phase of the project is underway. The aim of the project is to upgrade the individual dosimetry module to be able to record radiation doses received by first responders and accident clean-up workers. The desire is also to significantly improve the collection, processing, and administration of data on sources of ionizing radiation and data on personnel working with those sources, and to fully digitalize the related processes of the Radiation Protection Centre. Novian Systems is implementing modern data exchange, integration, administration and security solutions and tools, and is optimizing and modernizing the register. |
Elsis PRO and partners are developing a prototype of the system. To ensure scalability and cost-effectiveness, the system is being developed on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud platform, built according to component and serverless architecture principles. The project was initiated by Lithuania's General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy and Mykolas Romeris University and is coordinated by the Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology. It is being financed from the Operational Programme for EU Funds Investments for 2014-2020 and the European Regional Development Fund. |
Novian Systems is modernizing these VMI systems: the Taxpayers Electronic Education, Consultation and Information Service System (ESKIS), the Personal Income Tax Information System (GYPAS), the ITIS_EU information system for exchange of VAT information between EU countries, and the Integrated Tax Information System (IMIS). |
| Benefits | Once a prototype of the platform for managing exchanges of data between nanosatellites is created, decisions will be made on the system's further development and use on satellites. |
Until now such checks were carried out manually. Automation has significantly reduced the time needed and improved the quality of this work. |
The upgrade will digitalize new Radiation Protection Centre processes, enhance previously digitalized ones, and ensure their continuity. |
The system will enable the analysis of data from social media and news portals, as well as the creation and enhancement of tools to ensure the security of the information space. The AI (machine learning) "teacher student" model will help identify new information phenomena. |
The projects will enable improvement of the information systems used by the VMI in line with current needs in their regard. |

These productivity enhancers significantly speed up the development of software products, standardise results and ensure the quality of the results. In projects carried out in 2022, automated tools enabled the generation of almost 70% of the software code, and developers spent their time on integration, solving specific problems and optimization.
