Integration Architecture

API-first design for seamless integration with MSS NATO and Allied digital warfighting platforms

This page documents Logicon's technical integration architecture — REST API endpoints, output formats (JSON, GeoJSON, natural language), deployment model, and security posture — designed for integration with MSS NATO and Allied systems.

API Endpoints

RESTful endpoints for forecast retrieval, scenario analysis, and operational queries — supporting the full planning cycle

POST

/api/v1/scenarios/infer

On-demand escalation probability inference per region, with optional feature overrides

GET

/api/v1/forecasts

Active probabilistic forecasts with P, CI, horizon, drivers

GET

/api/v1/risk-assessment

Structural predictions per region (supports ?format=geojson)

POST

/api/v1/scenarios/what-if

Modify parameters, get updated probability estimates

GET

/api/v1/anomalies

Drift alerts and conflict event spikes from OSINT streams

GET

/api/v1/calibration

Live calibration metrics (Brier, log loss, AUC, reliability diagram)

POST

/api/v1/briefing/generate

Auto-generated intelligence briefing per region

POST

/api/v1/query/scenario

Natural language scenario query with parsed intent and inference

Output Formats

Multiple output formats for different integration targets

JSON

Standard structured output for all endpoints

GeoJSON

Geospatially referenced forecasts for Common Operating Picture (COP) overlay

Natural Language

Human-readable briefings and query responses

Deployment Model

Production deployment architecture and Phase 1 hardening roadmap

Cloud-Ready

Production deployment on Hetzner with Cloudflare CDN/WAF. Cloud-native deployment patterns (containerisation, AWS/Azure/NATO cloud) are Phase 1 deliverables for operational integration.

Security

TLS 1.3 in transit (Cloudflare). Application-layer authentication on API endpoints. CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options HTTP security headers. Audit logging per inference. NATO RESTRICTED-grade hardening (encryption at rest, NCIA accreditation pathway, air-gapped deployment) is a Phase 1 deliverable (no accreditation application has been submitted at this stage).

Scalability

Stateless API design allows horizontal scaling. Per-region forecast computation is independent and parallelisable.

Interoperability

RESTful API with OpenAPI 3.0 specification. Standard HTTP methods. JSON responses. No proprietary protocols or formats. Designed for integration at Allied Command Operations (ACO), Joint Force Command, and Tactical Component Command levels.

MSS NATO Integration

Technical integration path with Maven Smart System NATO (Palantir) at Allied Command Operations. Phase 1 end-user evaluation engages Task Force Maven (DIANA Challenge stakeholder) and JFC Brunssum, per the Challenge Statement specification.

MSS NATO Open Architecture

Integration via MSS NATO's documented third-party plug-in patterns. Logicon forecasts map to platform ontology objects — predictions, regions, confidence intervals as structured entities.

Standards-Based Authentication

Phase 1 deliverable: authentication compatible with NATO identity frameworks. Token-scoped permissions, user-level governance, full audit trail.

GeoJSON → COP Overlay

Risk assessment endpoint supports GeoJSON output (?format=geojson). Full COP overlay integration with military grid reference system support is a Phase 1 deliverable.

Unclassified Cloud Path

Initial integration via cloud deployment following NATO cloud infrastructure patterns. Escalation to NATO Secret through NCIA accreditation pathway (no accreditation application has been submitted at this stage).

NATO Standards Alignment

The standards below represent Logicon's alignment intent for Phase 1 and beyond. Most are design-level conformance objectives; specific implementation depth is part of the Phase 1 integration roadmap.

NATO DCRA 2025

Design intent: align with the NATO Data Centric Reference Architecture — JSON-LD 1.1, OpenAPI 3.1, federated data exchange, attribute-based access control (ABAC). Implementation depth is a Phase 1 deliverable.

STANAG 4774 / 4778

Phase 1 deliverable: classification metadata tagging on API outputs per NATO confidentiality metadata standards.

FMN Spiral 6

Designed for Federated Mission Networking compliance — service-oriented architecture with NATO C3 Taxonomy alignment. Target: 2030.

C2SIM (SISO-STD-019)

Phase 1 deliverable: REST + STOMP messaging adapter for Command and Control — Simulation interoperability.

APP-6(E) Symbology

Phase 1 deliverable: SIDC encoding in GeoJSON output for rendering on NATO Common Operating Picture (COP) displays.
