Today's command-and-control platforms are built for staff and battle captains, and they're only as good as the input they get. Frontline units don't plan digitally: they plan with paper maps and acetate, then communicate sparse summaries via radio up the chain. Higher headquarters have a fraction of the picture they could. This project gives small-unit leaders an intuitive mission-planning tool that makes digital planning faster than paper-based planning and pushes rich frontline data up to higher headquarters to increase their awareness of the battlefield.
