## 🛰️ Inspiration & scope

OVERWATCH is a **publicly-available reference implementation** of the multi-sensor situational-awareness concept popularised by [Anduril's Connected Warfare](https://www.anduril.com/connected-warfare) and its **Lattice** software platform — the idea that a network of low-cost, heterogeneous sensors can be fused at the edge into a single, AI-driven view of the battlespace.

This project takes that idea and runs with it on commodity hardware:

- A **$500 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano** instead of a hardened tactical server
- **IP webcams + mobile phone cameras** instead of dedicated military-grade sensors
- **YOLOv8 + Kalman + homography** instead of classified perception stacks
- **A FastAPI/React stack** instead of proprietary tactical software

The visual language — diamond IFF markers, compass ribbon, threat rings, ghost predictions — is **inspired by Anduril's EagleEye HUD aesthetic** (one of the publicly-shown UI surfaces of Lattice). It is *not* a clone, *not* affiliated with or endorsed by Anduril Industries, and *not* a substitute for their products. Trademarks belong to their respective owners.

> **Scope honesty:** this is a research/educational project. It demonstrates the *principles* of connected sensing — sensor fusion, cross-camera re-ID, edge inference, real-time broadcast — at a scale that fits in a backpack. It is not military-grade, not C2-system-grade, and not certified for any operational use.

### What's the same idea, what's different

| | Anduril Lattice / Connected Warfare | OVERWATCH (this repo) |
|---|---|---|
| **Goal** | Unified situational awareness across heterogeneous sensors | Same — at hobbyist scale |
| **Sensor mix** | Cameras, radar, RF, sonar, drones, ground vehicles, … | IP cameras + phone cameras (extensible) |
| **Fusion** | Proprietary, classified | Open: Kalman + Hungarian + homography |
| **Edge compute** | Hardened tactical hardware | Jetson Orin Nano dev kit |
| **HUD style** | EagleEye tactical UI | EagleEye-*inspired* canvas overlay |
| **Autonomy** | Multi-asset autonomous teaming | Single-pipeline perception only |
| **Use** | Defense / national security | Research, learning, civilian situational awareness |
| **Source** | Closed | Public on GitHub (license: see [LICENSE](LICENSE)) |

If you're building something in this space — researchers, students, civilian defense-tech tinkerers, public-safety folks — this repo is meant to be a starting point you can fork, hack on, and learn from.

## Overview

OVERWATCH is a real-time multi-camera situational awareness platform built for edge deployment on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. It fuses video from IP cameras and mobile phones into a unified world model using YOLOv8 detection, Hungarian-assignment tracking, adaptive Kalman filtering, and cross-camera appearance re-identification — all at TensorRT FP16 speeds.
