Overwatch OS
A unified telemetry and awareness stack built for contested environments. Correlate tactical signals across LoRa, LTE/5G, and Internet systems in a single pane of glass.
Mission-Critical Awareness
When infrastructure is compromised or denied, Overwatch OS maintains visibility. Designed to aggregate fragmented data streams into actionable intelligence.
- Protocol Agnostic: Ingest data from Meshtastic, direct LoRa, and IP-based sources simultaneously.
- Role-Based Views: Tailored dashboards ensure operators see tactical data while command sees strategic overviews.
- Edge Alerting: Real-time, localized rule processing ensures critical alerts fire even when disconnected from the cloud.
System Architecture & Workflows
Overwatch OS bridges the gap between disconnected tactical edge networks and enterprise command centers through a decoupled ingestion and visualization pipeline.
1. Operator Workflow
Field personnel access localized instances of Overwatch OS over internal mesh Wi-Fi, plotting tracks and sending reports without any upstream internet connection.
2. Ingest & Process
Tactical gateways filter, tag, and prioritize the raw RF data based on mission-specific programmable rulesets loaded onto the device.
3. Command Visibility
When backhaul (Satcom/LTE) is available, tagged critical intelligence is compressed and synced to the enterprise command cluster for multi-theater visualization.
Protocol Interoperability
Overwatch OS acts as a universal translator for tactical signals, breaking down vendor data silos.
- RF Mesh: Native ingest for Meshtastic (LoRa) telemetry and Position Location Information (PLI).
- Cellular / IP: Support for standard MQTT and REST endpoints over LTE/5G or Starlink backhaul.
- Local Hardware: Direct serial integration for closed-loop environmental and vehicular sensors.
- Data Export: Standardized JSON/GeoJSON outputs for ingestion into existing command systems like ATAK.
Maturity & Readiness
Actively deployed in controlled environments for stress testing against signal degradation models.
- Multi-node Meshtastic PLI ingest
- Offline map rendering & track plotting
- Zero-trust local caching
- OIDC Enterprise Authentication integration
- Automated anomaly detection models
- Cross-cluster synchronization protocols
