The Isselmere-Nielander Orbital Defence Force (INODF; Anguistian Ádhifinnlú Úidhithe na hUislíamór-Nhígúlad (AUUN); Nielandic Reikistjarnavarnarliðs Isselmerkis-Nýlendinga (RVIN)) is the space component of the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Aerospace Force. As of 2004, there have been moves to establish it as a separate service; both the Air Staff and Parliament have resisted such calls.
