WARFIGHTER.IO
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

How warfighter.io is built.

A cloud-native, six-layer system designed to be acquired through PEO STRI, owned by First Army TSCs, and operated by ≤4 organic personnel per brigade-level exercise.

01 / PRESENTATION

Browser thin-client (this app). Role-based workspaces for Operator, Commander, Trainee. Accessible from any RC readiness center meeting min bandwidth.

02 / EDGE / DELIVERY

CDN + WebSocket gateway. Real-time inject distribution and decision streams. IL5-eligible region with mTLS to enclave.

03 / AI SERVICES

Adversary COA generator, multi-domain inject synthesizer, AAR insight engine. Government-controlled model registry; no PII training data.

04 / EXERCISE ORCHESTRATOR

Stateful scenario engine. Foundation-and-build persistence — each rep builds on the last across competition → crisis → conflict.

05 / DATA & SCENARIO LIBRARY

Modular MDO inject library, unit profiles, decision logs, AAR records. Versioned. Exportable to JTIMS / DTMS for credit.

06 / IDENTITY & POLICY

CAC / Login.gov SSO. RBAC by echelon and warfighting function. Data segregation by formation. ATO via Risk Management Framework.

DOTMLPF-P ALIGNMENT

PROPOSAL CROSSWALK
D — Doctrine

Standardized RC MDO scenario design and AAR data collection requirements.

O — Organization

First Army Training Support Cells (TSCs) own and operate the platform regionally.

T — Training

Iterative MDO drills tied to ARFORGEN milestones; tiered staff proficiency framework.

M — Materiel

warfighter.io itself — cloud-native AI STE, fielded via PEO STRI acquisition pathway.

L — Leadership

Commander dashboard for readiness-driven decisions, not slide-deck assessments.

P — Personnel

≤4 organic operators run a brigade-level exercise. No contractor cell required.

F — Facilities

Phase 1 First Army HQ + RTB. Phase 2 extends to RC readiness centers meeting bandwidth min.

P — Policy

Defense Support to Technology Transfer through PEO STRI to accelerate initial fielding.

KEY PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS

DRAFT KPPs
  • ▸Brigade-level MDO exercise launches with ≤4 organic operators in <60 minutes
  • ▸Generates synchronized injects across 5 domains in <10 seconds
  • ▸Supports ≥150 distributed thin-client trainees per exercise
  • ▸Auto-produces AAR dashboard within 5 minutes of ENDEX
  • ▸Persists scenario state across reps for foundation-and-build training
  • ▸Operates over min 2 Mbps per node — works at RC readiness centers
