OPSCTR · doctrine · Decide

Doctrine as data. Audit by construction.

ROE, authorities, approval chains, and lifecycle gates are stored data the fabric enforces. Every governed action writes an immutable record, so what was decided, and why it was permitted, is reconstructable.

01

The human stays on the trigger

F2T2EA runs as a gated state machine. Authority is re-validated at the moment of engagement; the two-person rule is a queue, not a promise.

02

Authority arrives on a certificate

A node that can write its own authority has none. Command authority resolves against a grant signed by a root in your custody, read fresh on every act.

03

Possession is not permission

Engagement authority is a named grant in the command relationship, never inferred from a sensor's willingness to share. A shooter without the grant is refused by name.

From the federation guide
WHAT DOES NOT CONFER — ALL STILL REQUIRED, NONE SUFFICIENT SIGNATURE identity only VOUCHER scoping only — type + window LEDGER ROW topology only — who is party LOCAL REFUSAL LATCH the one self-made act — it can only SHRINK what is honored WHAT CONFERS — ONE THING GRANT ATTRIBUTE ON A CERTIFICATE names sender-tenant COMMANDS subject-tenant, and the type signed by the deployment root — held in YOUR custody the source tenant must be a THIRD PARTY to both OPSCTR reads it. OPSCTR never mints it. CONSULTED AT THREE MOMENTS always against the asking node's own certificate 1 · ISSUANCE — first command relationship on an edge 2 · LOOKUP — per party, per type, at authoring and at claim 3 · ACT GATE — every act on a commanded leg SELF-GRANT REFUSED AT THREE LEVELS — VOUCHER · RECORD · CERTIFICATE the beneficiary of an authority artifact can never be the party that created it; an artifact whose acting party is unproven confers nothing material is read PER CONSULT — a re-provision takes effect on a running box, in both directions, with no restart a peer's signed assertion is evidence of identity, never of authority

Where authority comes from

A signature proves identity. A voucher scopes a relationship. Neither confers. One thing does: a grant attribute on a certificate, consulted at issuance, at lookup, and at every act.

How authority travels · and the capabilities behind it
  1. 01

    The commander proposes, the subordinate ratifies

    Both nodes record the relationship. Signed vouchers carry its grants one by one: engage, task, re-task, cross-attach, logistics, administration. A grant nobody conferred does not exist.

  2. 02

    Operational and administrative lanes stay apart

    An administrative delegation can carry logistics and administrative tasking. It can never carry an operational act. No relationship type implies a grant.

  3. 03

    Rules of engagement

    An ROE template registry with mission assignment.

  4. 04

    Authority citations

    Legal and command authorities bounding mission execution.

  5. 05

    Approval chains

    Configurable multi-step approval workflows, per subject type.

  6. 06

    Two-person rule co-sign

    An asynchronous co-sign queue through the unified task queue.

  7. 07

    Compartmentation

    Compartment stamping on missions, entities, playbooks, and workflows.

  8. 08

    Engagement authority and release governance

    Envelopes and release decisions for counter-UAS and other time-sensitive engagements.

  9. 09

    Audit logging

    Audit entries for every authentication, role, and administrative event.

Next: orchestration.
