1Description

TORUS-CCISRT turns a field of sensors into a decision. It ingests the prioritised event streams from every TORUS-MEG gateway, fuses them into a single geospatial common operating picture (COP), and presents that picture to two kinds of operator at once: the coordinators planning and watching from an operations room, and the field operators acting on the ground. Both see the same live state; each sees it in the form their job needs.

The same environment is used before deployment, not just during it: sites are rehearsed as digital twins in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, and the validated plan (node positions, gains, alert policies) is promoted straight into the live C2 picture.

2Two operator vantage points

Operations room · coordinate & plan

Common operating picture

  • Map/GIS wall with live node, gateway, and mast state
  • Fused alerts with class, confidence, and location
  • Triage & prioritisation queue; acknowledge / escalate
  • Thermal and video tiles cued from the visual masts
  • Timeline scrub & forensic replay of any event
  • Deployment planning and Isaac Sim rehearsal link
  • Node health, battery, and link dashboards
  • Multi-operator collaboration with role-based views
Field operator · act on the ground

Rugged tasking app

  • Handheld / tablet map with own position and node ring
  • Prioritised push alerts with bearing and distance
  • Cue a sensor or mast; request a snapshot on demand
  • Confirm, dismiss, or reclassify an event in the field
  • Offline-tolerant sync over the gateway / mesh
  • Shared picture with the room in near real time

4Capabilities

AreaCapability
SurveillanceLive common operating picture; node/mast state; thermal & video tiles cued by events
DetectionFusion of seismic, acoustic, and (roadmap) visual/air cues into single tracks with confidence
ReconnaissanceOn-demand sensor cueing, snapshot requests, and mast slew-to-cue from the room or field
IntelligenceTimeline, forensic replay, pattern-of-life and event history across the deployment
ControlNode configuration, gain and threshold policy, alert rules, arm/disarm zones
TransducerEffect-node command under a safety interlock: arm, safety-validate, then trigger; trigger refused until validation passes; every action audited
PlanningPre-deployment rehearsal in Isaac Sim; promote validated plan to the live picture
CollaborationMulti-operator, role-based access, shared annotations, hand-off room↔field
IntegrationAPI and standard messaging to push tracks to existing C2 / SIEM / VMS systems

5Deployment & platform

AspectApproach
HostingOn-premises or private cloud; fully air-gapped option for high-security sites
Display systemOperations-room video wall + operator workstations; browser-based clients
Field clientsRugged Android tablets / handhelds; interoperable with ATAK-style workflows
SecurityRole-based access control, encrypted transport, signed updates, full audit log
ResilienceStore-and-forward at the gateway; the field app degrades gracefully when offline

6Status

TORUS-CCISRT is at concept / design-study stage. The node-side event schema is defined so that TORUS-SN and TORUS-MEG are C2-ready today; the operator applications and fusion core are the next build phase after the ground domain hardware is finalised.
