CLASSIFICATION: STRATEGY // AUTHOR: ED REIF The Mapping of Decisions "We are not in the business of teaching people to drive boats. The vessel navigates itself." But autonomy does not stand trial: people do. Who do we court-martial when the software glitches? We are in the business of calibrating human judgment at the speed of maritime autonomy. When a USV mission begins, three forces collide: physics, infrastructure, and legal pressure. My responsibility is to ensure that collision produces mission success, not asset loss, regulatory failure, or institutional blame. hover to zoom Operational Audio Briefing Listen to the audiobook strategy breakdown on Spotify. ▶ Listen on Spotify 90-Day Operational Strategy Click phases to reveal strategic objectives.

× BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT The Bottom Line: Robotic warfare doesn't eliminate humans. It upgrades what humans are responsible for. The machine can process data faster than any human. But it cannot process nuance. It cannot recognize when its assumptions are wrong. That's the human's job. And if we train them the old way—memorizing procedures, practicing in controlled conditions—we're setting them up to fail. We don't train to check boxes. We train to produce truth. ACKNOWLEDGE & CLOSE × EXECUTIVE DISPATCH The Truth Engine Architecture The Assumption Register: Maintain a living registry of engineering hypotheses.

The machine can process data faster than any human. But it cannot process nuance. It cannot recognize when its assumptions are wrong. It cannot make judgment calls in novel situations.

The Assumption Burn-Down Protocol DOC_REF: RWS_BETA_01 SECURE CONNECTION LIVE The Assumption Burn-Down Protocol A field manual for training humans on machines that don’t exist yet. FIG 1.0 // INITIAL SYSTEM VECTORS CORE DOCTRINE: Training is not downstream of engineering— training is upstream intelligence. NORTH STAR: Convert “I think” into “I know.” METRIC: Assumption Burn-Down Velocity. Part I: Prototype vs. Platform Chapter 1: The Integrity Check I learned early that clarity is compassion. In Kabul, on the flight line, the difference between “cleared for takeoff” and “cleared to taxi” wasn’t semantics. It was measured in tons of burning metal. If a pilot didn’t understand the radio, they died. The most dangerous moment in an...

Every documentation update is organizational learning. By the time you commission the fleet, your operators aren't just skilled—they're accurate. They know the system's limitations because they helped discover them. They know...
