Humans In The Loop,
System In The Fight

ARIA is an assistant for missions and operations, not a chatbot. It handles complexity so humans can focus on decisions that matter. Every role interacts with ARIA through defined interfaces designed for their workflow.

ARIA does not replace human judgment. It extends human capability by handling routine coordination, surfacing relevant information, and maintaining operational continuity. Operators retain authority. Analysts retain expertise. Leaders retain command. ARIA handles the complexity between them.

Autonomy and Control Model

Human intent and oversight remain explicit in all execution modes. Governance and audit continuity are maintained under stress. Execution behaves deterministically under degraded assumptions when policy constraints and audit health are verified.

  • Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) is the default mode; autonomous execution requires explicit profile unlock
  • Constrained autonomy is profile-gated, policy-enforced, and auditable
  • All AI recommendations include explainable reasoning and uncertainty bounds

These interaction patterns reflect methodology validation; dedicated research validation is conducted separately. See Research and Validation for details.

Operators

Operators define missions, set constraints, and maintain oversight of ARIA's execution.

Define Missions

Set objectives, rules of engagement, and operational boundaries. ARIA enforces these constraints at the kernel level.

Approve Plans

Review proposed courses of action before execution. Accept, modify, or reject system recommendations.

Watch Health And Alerts

Monitor system status, agent health, and operational alerts through real-time dashboards.

Override When Needed

Immediate override capability at all times. ARIA responds deterministically to operator commands.

Analysts

Analysts receive processed intelligence and contribute findings back into operational memory.

Receive Structured Packets

Get intelligence products tailored to your echelon and timeline, not raw data floods.

Investigate Findings

Drill into reasoning chains, evidence sources, and confidence indicators behind assessments.

Push Back Into Memory

Annotate findings, correct assessments, and add context that improves future analysis.

Query The System

Ask specific questions and receive structured answers with traceable sourcing.

Engineers

Engineers integrate systems, extend capabilities, and maintain operational health.

Integrate Systems

Connect ARIA to existing infrastructure through stable APIs, message buses, and file interfaces.

Expose New Agents

Add new tools and capabilities as agents that participate in the orchestration layer.

Monitor Metrics

Track system health, resource utilization, and performance indicators in real time.

Debug And Tune

Access detailed logs, replay events, and adjust parameters without rebuilding the system.

Leadership

Leaders receive decision-quality information without wading through operational details.

Situation Snapshots

Current state summaries that show what matters now, not everything that happened.

Options And Trade-offs

Structured decision packages with courses of action and their implications.

Risk Profiles

Clear risk indicators and confidence levels for each recommendation.

Audit Access

Full visibility into decision history for reviews, lessons learned, and compliance.
