UKSFTA Common Operational Picture (COP)

1. Overview

The UKSFTA COP is a high-fidelity situational awareness platform designed for the UKSF Taskforce Alpha. It provides a real-time tactical interface for mission planning, intelligence gathering, and unit coordination.

1.1 Core Capabilities

• Precision MGRS Tracking: High-accuracy coordinate system synchronized with Arma 3.
• Real-Time Intelligence: Bidirectional synchronization between the battlefield and the command portal.
• Multi-Theatre Support: Specialized map layers for Dagger Island and Zagorsk operations.
• Tactical Symbology: NATO-standard identifiers for all operational reporting.

2. Technical Architecture

The portal is built on a modern, high-performance stack:

• Frontend: Hugo (Go-based static site generator) utilizing govuk-frontend patterns.
• Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL + Real-time engine) for sub-second data synchronization.
• Mapping: Leaflet.js with a "God-Mode" raw pixel engine for zero-drift coordinate accuracy.
• Design: 100% compliance with the UK Ministry of Defence "Government Style" standards.

3. Development Environment

3.1 Prerequisites

• Hugo (Extended Version) v0.155.3+
