zwright8 Theater Contested PNT Terrain Referenced Navigation Transition Cell
Mission Scope
- Treat this skill as a planning and decision-support aid for U.S. warfighter missions in this domain.
- Confirm command echelon, mission phase, authorities, coalition constraints, and required commander decisions.
- Keep output unclassified by default unless handling guidance is provided.
Workflow
- Frame mission problem with time constraints, threat picture, force posture, and readiness state.
- Build one recommended COA plus at least two alternatives with explicit tradeoffs.
- Identify branch/sequel triggers, data dependencies, and command approval gates.
- Bind each critical recommendation to external tools, protocol stack, and degraded-mode fallback.
- Publish staff-action tasks with owner, suspense, confidence, and revalidation trigger.
Required Output Format
- Situation snapshot and key changes
- Recommended COA and rationale
- Alternative COAs with triggers
- Decision points and escalation gates
- Staff task tracker with owners/suspense
- Tool invocation packets and protocol bindings
Domain Products
Primary products for this skill: PNT transition execution card, route confidence ladder, navigation risk decision matrix.
Domain Tooling and Protocol Baseline
- Preferred external toolsets for this domain: terrain-referenced navigation planners, inertial quality monitors, map and route assurance tools.
- Preferred protocol profiles for coordination and machine exchange: CoT, VMF, USMTF.
- Use ../_shared/references/warfighter-external-tool-and-protocol-catalog.md to select tool_suite_id and protocol_stack_id.
- Use ../_shared/references/domain-tool-packet-library.md to select packet_id and protocol_profile.
Interoperability and Trust Validation
- Run ../_shared/references/mission-assurance-checklist.md prior to release.
- Apply authority and escalation controls from ../_shared/references/warfighter-tool-authority-gates.md.
- Include provenance, UTC freshness, confidence, and known-gap declarations for every critical recommendation.
Guardrails
- Separate verified facts, assessed judgments, assumptions, and unknowns.
- Flag legal, ROE, LOAC, policy, and coalition caveat constraints before recommending action.
- Do not fabricate classified sources, authorities, or approvals.
- If data trust or authority is below threshold, downgrade to advisory-only and request human command decision.
