Prototype fire-control decision support / Open architecture

Vector

Disciplined fire-control logic for adapting low-cost interceptors.

For government evaluators, prime integrators, and interceptor teams

Vector is a modular software component designed to turn synthetic command and track state into traceable engagement options, preserve external operator authorization, and manage post-launch mission state.

The operating problem

A low-cost interceptor still needs disciplined fire-control logic.

Before launch, the system must evaluate whether the configured interceptor can engage. Launch progression must remain externally authorized. After launch, mission state, communications, faults, and evidence must stay coherent.

What Vector does

Decision support inside a wider command environment.

Vector validates bounded inputs, applies transparent engagement rules, presents structured candidate options, and maintains deterministic mission-state transitions.

It is designed to integrate through replaceable adapters—not replace the command environment, interceptor, or human authority around it.

Operational workflow

From synthetic state to controlled action.

Each stage keeps source state, configured logic, operator authority, and resulting evidence visible to the evaluation team.

01 / Ingest

Validate state.

Normalize synthetic command, track, asset, policy, and communications state at a bounded adapter boundary.

  • Source identity
  • Schema validation
  • Timing and completeness
02 / Evaluate

Assess engagement.

Apply configured engageability rules and return structured candidate options with inspectable reason codes.

  • Rule evaluation
  • Candidate options
  • Reason codes
03 / Authorize

Preserve operator authority.

Require an external operator decision before launch progression or consequential mission-state transitions.

  • External authority gate
  • Policy constraints
  • Invalid-transition rejection
04 / Communicate

Manage mission state.

Publish post-launch state, acknowledgements, communications faults, exceptions, and trace artifacts.

  • Versioned outputs
  • Mission-state trace
  • Deterministic replay
Open system envelope

Defined inputs. Bounded logic. Structured outputs.

Vector isolates fire-control decision services behind explicit interfaces so they can be evaluated, adapted, and integrated without concealing authority or state.

01

Synthetic inputs

Bounded test messages represent the state Vector is designed to receive.

  • Command and track state
  • Engagement requests
  • Authorization messages
  • Timing and network faults
02

Decision support

Deterministic services turn validated state into inspectable operator support.

  • Schema and source validation
  • Rule-based engagement assessment
  • Candidate options and reason codes
  • External authority gates
03

Controlled outputs

Structured messages return lifecycle state and evidence to the wider environment.

  • Post-launch state updates
  • Acknowledgements and exceptions
  • Fault and degraded-state handling
  • Append-only trace and replay
Current evidence

What Vector is now.

A prototype-stage modular software component for synthetic evaluation of engagement logic, external authorization, post-launch state, communications faults, and trace output.

Claim boundary

What Vector does not claim.

Operational deployment, certification, combat use, production readiness, current IBCS integration, or completed hardware-in-the-loop validation.
