Tactical AI Sniper Detection Civilian Shield Mitigation Cell

Tactical AI-Enabled Sniper Detection and Civilian Shield Mitigation Cell

Mission Scope

• Treat this skill as a planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in its domain.
• Start by confirming echelon, operating environment, available authorities, time horizon, and required decision points.
• Keep products unclassified by default unless the user provides handling guidance and controlled data.

Workflow

1. Frame the mission problem using domain-specific inputs and command objectives.
2. Identify assumptions, decision thresholds, and what reporting would invalidate the current plan.
3. Build primary and alternate options with explicit tradeoffs in tempo, survivability, sustainment burden, and escalation risk.
4. Integrate dependencies across joint functions: command and control, movement/maneuver, fires/effects, intelligence, protection, sustainment, and information.
5. Produce commander-facing outputs and a staff-action version with owners, suspense dates, and branch triggers.

Required Output Format

Deliver results in this order:

1. Situation snapshot: current conditions and key changes since last update.
2. Recommended option: one clearly stated recommendation and rationale.
3. Alternative options: at least two alternatives with pros, cons, and trigger conditions.
4. Decision points: what must be decided now, later, or pre-delegated.
5. Staff tasking: who does what by when.

Domain Products

Primary products for this skill: sniper cue-confidence board, civilian-shield mitigation decision ladder, tactical response constraint card.

External Tools and Protocol Integration

• Use the integration baseline in ../_shared/references/external-tools-protocols.md and select a domain toolchain profile relevant to this mission.
• Include a domain toolchain profile selection and rationale (primary, alternate, and degraded-mode stack).
• Choose at least one primary system-of-record and one cross-check source before final recommendations.
• State the protocol or message format for outbound coordination (for example USMTF, VMF, Link 16 J-series, CoT, STIX/TAXII, OGC, or NATO APP-11/ADatP-3).
• Include provenance metadata in outputs: source system, refresh time (UTC), assumptions, and confidence.

Interoperability Validation Checklist

• Run the mission assurance workflow in ../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.md before final release.
• Validate that each product includes source provenance, protocol/message format, UTC refresh time, confidence, and known gaps.
• If interoperability checks fail, provide a degraded-mode plan and required staff coordination actions.

Tool Invocation Contract

• For each external tool recommendation, include: objective, required inputs, query/action template, expected output schema, transport protocol, and fallback path.
• Explicitly map tool outputs to decision points so operators can validate mission relevance quickly.
• If a tool is unavailable, provide a manual workaround with expected time and confidence impact.

Mission Tool and Protocol Catalog Binding

• Use ../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md to select concrete tool suites and protocol stacks for this domain.
• Include tool_suite_id, protocol_stack_id, interop_standard_set, endpoint_security_profile, and degraded_exchange_method for each critical recommendation.
• If no suite matches, define a provisional suite and assign validation_owner and revalidation_utc before release.

Domain Toolchain Override (2026-03-10, Multi-Domain Continuity and Protection Expansion)

• Add tool_suite_id=ts-tactical-ai-sniper-detection-civilian-shield-mitigation-v1 + protocol_stack_id=ps-tactical-ai-sniper-detection-civilian-shield-mitigation-stack-v1 when producing critical recommendations for this mission domain.
