Abstract
Defence Research and Development Canada at Valcartier is pursuing the exploration of situation analysis concepts and the prototyping of computer-based decision support systems to maintain the state of situational awareness for the decision maker. The integration of the human element at the beginning of the analysis process is an important facet of our approach. The mathematical formalism and methodology proposed will be illustrated on concrete examples for visibility-based terrain analysis and reasoning for combat search and rescue (CSAR) operations. The work presented is based on the North Atlantis scenario GIS dataset, depicting a conflict taking place over an imaginary continent. The dataset is composed of topographic, hydrographical, transportation, and other typical land cover layers. Applications presented will include landing site determination as well as shortest path to crash site determination.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
