SHIELD/ATLAS — Capes Brief Deck (.pptx)
15-slide capabilities brief built for Greg Funk's Teams room on 29 Apr 2026. Full speaker notes on every slide, every URL clickable, UNCLASSIFIED // PRE-DECISIONAL marking. Walks the TAK bridge, ESMS C-UAS at $98 / node, CFF / FDC math, DDIL / USEIF, the Hadean / Palantir / TAK positioning, the honest capability posture, standards conformance, past performance, and closes on three time-bound asks. Use during the call as PACE-Alternate if screen-share dies; use as the take-home leave-behind in every case.
What We Built — Capability Stories
Each card below opens a live page. One paragraph per capability explaining what it does and how it changes the way a unit operates, plans, trains, or fights.
Unit-to-Unit Lookup & Cross-Unit Communication
A commander can search any unit on the network from team up to joint command, see its echelon, location, sensors, current PERSTAT, and current MTOE status, then open a direct cross-unit channel without going up and back down the chain. Subordinate visibility is rule-driven, so a battalion S-3 sees the companies; the companies do not see each other unless invited. The result is that a supply company in the rear can talk to a forward observer in seconds, and a JTF cell can pull a single picture across services without an exchange officer in the middle.
Common Operating Picture (COP)
A single map that fuses live ADS-B aircraft, AIS vessels, FAA NOTAMs, weather, hazards, and any organic sensor track the unit owns, with three modes (Organic, WiFi, Tactical) so an operator without classified network access still gets a usable picture. Every operator on the network sees the same picture at the same time, which is the point: the brigade staff and the platoon leader are looking at the same drone, the same TFR, the same storm cell, with no one waiting on a slide refresh.
Planning — MDMP, TLP, and AI Wargaming
The OPSCENTER module walks a staff through the eight steps of TLP and the seven steps of MDMP with METT-TC capture, sync matrix, OPORD and FRAGO generation, and an AI wargaming assistant that scores friendly courses of action against a chosen enemy COA. A platoon leader gets the same structured product as a battalion staff; a battalion staff gets a wargame in minutes instead of an afternoon. The output is a real OPORD, not a template the unit has to retype.
Training — Course Catalog & 45 Pre-Built Sandboxes
A built-in course catalog runs from CORE-100 through FIRES-300 with progress tracking and certifications, and 45 pre-built scenario sandboxes let a unit rehearse hurricanes, active threats, mass-casualty events, drone incursions, GPS-denied operations, and counter-battery fights against scripted injects. Train as we fight: the scenarios use the same modules, the same map, and the same data plumbing as live operations, so a soldier who certifies in the sandbox knows where every button is when it counts.
Preparing — Onboarding & Pre-Mission Setup
A guided onboarding flow stands a unit up in under ten minutes: pick the echelon, pick the sensors on hand, pick the integration adapters needed (TAK, AFATDS, DCGS-MC, DAF Battle Network, UDL, NGA, STIX/TAXII), and the system provisions the COP, the comms channels, the threat library, and the kill-chain pipeline automatically. A unit deploying tomorrow does not need a contractor on site; they need a browser.
Execution — Commander's Dashboard & Decision Queue
THREATCON status, force readiness, decision queue, and a one-click AI-generated SITREP for the commander, all on one page that updates as detections, fires missions, and unit reports flow in. The decision queue surfaces the calls only the commander can make and clears everything else off the screen, so the commander spends time on intent and risk, not on chasing slides.
Logistics & the 10 Classes of Supply
Class I through Class X tracking with on-hand, due-in, days-of-supply, lot numbers for ammunition, convoy and LOGPAC planning, and direct cross-walks to the supported unit's PERSTAT and MTOE so the S-4 sees what the line companies actually have, not what the property book says they should have. A request from a forward team becomes a LOGPAC route on the map, not an email no one answers.
Maintenance — PMCS, FMC/PMC Status & Pacing Items
PMCS scheduling against actual end-item readiness, FMC and PMC rollups by unit, and pacing-item tracking so the commander sees the three pieces of equipment that are about to take the unit non-mission-capable before the morning report. Hard-coded technical-manual references back the procedures, so a maintainer is not guessing at a step.
MTOE & PERSTAT — Authorized vs. Assigned
The SUSTAINMENT module carries the unit's MTOE line by line, compares authorized to assigned for personnel and equipment, and feeds the deltas into planning and logistics so a course of action that requires a fourth gun truck does not get wargamed when the unit only has three. The same view rolls up cleanly from team to brigade.
Kill Web — Sensor-to-Shooter
The full sensor-to-shooter pipeline shown as it runs: detection, classification, triangulation, trajectory, warning, and counter-battery, with multi-modal Bayesian fusion of acoustic, RF, ADS-B, and visual inputs. The shooter side is sensor- and effector-agnostic; the same pipeline cues a kinetic, an EW, or a directed-energy effector based on cost-aware allocation rules the unit sets.
Full 66-Module Inventory
Every module the platform ships, organized by domain (air, maritime, ground, cyber/EW, space, emergency management, C2, training, support), with cost tier, current operational status, the data feeds it consumes, and the program alignments it satisfies. Use this when you want to verify a specific capability exists rather than browse stories.
