SHIELD/ATLAS — UNIT ONBOARDING & MULTI-UNIT INTEROPERABILITY (LIVE)

EVALUATOR DEMO — REAL ENDPOINTS, REAL DATA

How a new unit comes online — and how units work together

Two demonstrations, both live: (1) the 7-gate Zero-Configuration Tactical Onboarding engine running against the production backend; (2) the multi-unit common-operating-picture model with a button to spawn a unit into the real hierarchy and watch it appear.

1 Watch a unit come online

Click the button. The platform runs the 7-gate Zero-Configuration sequence end-to-end against POST /api/onboarding/start and streams real event data. No mocks, no canned video.

2 How units work together (interoperability)

Each unit owns its data and its chain of command. Where missions overlap, they share through ATLAS via STANAG/CoT/MIL-STD adapters into a fused common operating picture. Hover any flow line below for what's exchanged.

TRACKS
Aircraft (ADS-B/ATC), vessels (AIS), ground (CoT/Blue Force) merged into one symbology layer.
INTEL / SIGINT
SIGINT detections cross-cue EOIR sensors in adjacent units; IRP-marked CUI per unit owner.
FIRES
Call-for-fires propagates to FSO + ABCT + sustainment in seconds. AFATDS adapter-ready.
LOGISTICS
Ammo, fuel, MEDEVAC requests visible to higher HQ & mutual-aid partners simultaneously.
HAZARDS
NWS / NASA FIRMS / USGS / FEMA feeds geo-fused so every unit sees the same hazard layer.
SPOT REPORTS
OpsCenter reports flow to Sentinel + COP via the platform event bus, audit-logged.
VISIBILITY MODEL — built into RBAC, no config required
Every operator automatically sees their unit and all subordinates. Commanders, XOs, and admins additionally get read visibility up the chain. For joint & mutual-aid ops, a commander issues a scoped collaboration grant (POST /api/permissions/grant) — tunable by data type, AOR, and time window. Every grant is hash-chain audit-logged for FedRAMP AU-11 accountability.

3 Spawn a unit into the live hierarchy

This hits POST /api/units on the production backend. The new unit is persisted to the database and appears in the tree below.

4 The receipts — every claim above is grounded in code

Evaluators can audit the implementation. These are the exact files and routes that power what you just saw.

UNIT HIERARCHY & RBAC
server/unit-hierarchy.ts
Echelons (team→combatant-command→agency), branches (all 6 services + joint + civilian), parent/child DAG, role-based visibility (getUserVisibleUnits), audit-logged unit CRUD.
7-GATE ONBOARDING ENGINE
server/zero-config-onboarding.ts
server/tactical-onboarding.ts
Network → Device → Sensor → Feeds → TAK → UI → Health. Resumable from checkpoint for DDIL. Full event log per session.
STANAG & MIL-STD INTEROP
server/isa-adapter.ts
server/integration-adapters.ts
STANAG-4586 (UAS), STANAG-5516 (Link-16), STANAG-4676 (ISR tracks), MIL-STD-2525D (symbology), DCGS-MC / AFATDS / TITAN / MCISRE adapter interfaces.
FUSION & EVENT BUS
server/platform-integration.ts
server/event-bus.ts
Cross-module bridges (opscenter→sentinel→cop). The /api/platform/cop/unified endpoint produces the fused picture, scoped by visibility.
COLLABORATION GRANTS
POST /api/permissions/grant
Mutual-aid & joint-ops sharing. Scoped by data type, AOR, and time window. Every grant hash-chain audit-logged (FedRAMP AU-11).
PERSISTENCE & AUDIT
shared/schema.ts (unit_nodes, unit_permissions, audit_logs)
Railway PostgreSQL with retry/backoff (Tasks #5/#7/#8). Tamper-evident audit chain on every unit, user, and permission action.
