The Tactical Edge Route Agent (TERA) : A voice driven, offline AI agent for tactical operators, running entirely on a Jetson Orin Nano. Operator speaks or types intent into an on-device LLM (Gemma), which then creates a ML-DSA-65 PQC signed response, and then has scaffolding for an on-device TTS guided rationale for tactical route guidance through a curated operator-cadence voice profile tailored from open voice models. A six-stage security pipeline (prompt guard, redaction, provenance, schema validation, policy gate, trust scoring) that rejects prompt injection before the model on prem sees it. ATAK plugin connects the operator device to the Jetson Nano over LAN, where the verify-gate refuses unsigned or untrusted key-responses before rendering.
