Roadmap — mission plan
Four phases, measurable exit criteria. A milestone only turns green when a build-log entry declares it reached — with evidence.
Phase 0 — bench test
wk 1–3 · in progress
- doneOrder everything up front · Evidence : tout-commande
- in progressEach sensor validated individually
- upcomingFive streams readable simultaneously
Phase 1 — Correlator on the bench
wk 3–6 · upcoming
- upcomingFan / corded drill / magnet-on-a-pole protocol (alone, then with a cold source)
- upcomingFour scenarios classified correctly 9 times out of 10 — blocking milestone
Phase 2 — fit and finish
wk 6–9 · upcoming
- upcomingTactical Night interface working
- upcomingVideo black box operational
- upcomingThree-stage A.R.V.A. v2
- upcoming3D-printed enclosure assembled, haptics wired
- upcomingClean-noise test before final assembly (magnetic and sentinel)
Phase 3 — field
wk 9+ · upcoming
- upcomingFirst mission in an uncontrolled location
- upcomingFalse positives per hour measured
- upcomingReal battery life measured
Open doors
Explorations. Nothing built, nothing promised.
- Paired accessories over the event bus (satellite pods, trigger objects, earpiece) — other hardware will probably be able to work with the Omni-Core one day
- FLC-100 fluxgate magnetometer
- Boson thermal camera
- Indoor IMU/SLAM mapping
- HQ NoIR visible camera (IMX477, C/CS lens)
- Automatic room-change detection from stream co-variation
- Product enclosure (magnesium, IP68, OLED)
- Two custom internal batteries, hot-swappable
- Companion app
Risk register
Published as is. The first three dominate.
| # | Risk | Prob. | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope creep | high | high | Phase 1 milestone (9/10) is blocking; new ideas → open doors |
| 2 | Residual self-interference | medium | high | Clean-noise test before assembly; longer snout; local mu-metal; Silence mode |
| 3 | Field false positives | high | medium | FP/h metric; black-box diagnosis → iterative refinement |
| 4 | Software complexity | medium | medium | 1 sensor = 1 process; central event bus |
| 5 | Volatile supply | medium | medium | Order everything in phase 0; spares; RTL-SDR V3 (stable production) |
| 6 | Heat in a closed enclosure | medium | medium | 15 W mode by default; ventilation; throttling watch in phase 2 |
| 7 | Sentinel privacy | low | high | Anonymized fingerprints only, never raw addresses; AES-256 encrypted logs |
| 8 | A.R.V.A. disappointment | medium | low | Accepted and documented: quality and traceability over quantity |
