Use Cases

Post-mission telemetry evaluation for test, training, and review. Advisory outputs. Human authority retained.

Field IQ serves teams accountable for explaining what happened after a mission, test, or exercise using telemetry they already collect. These use cases map to specific owners and budget-backed workflows where a pilot is low-risk and immediately useful.

Test & Evaluation / Range Ops

OWNER
Test Director / Range Ops Lead / T&E Support PM
OUTPUTS
  • Plan vs actual (when plan exists) + deviations-from-plan
  • Drift/dwell patterns + confidence
  • JSON export for integration (optional PDF for review)
so what
Faster, defensible post-test reporting by turning telemetry into reviewable events instead of manual reconstruction.
PILOT WEDGE (first step)

One test profile, one export format, 5–10 runs, one evaluator loop to validate time-to-first-finding.

Unmanned Systems / Autonomy Testing (UAS/UGV/USV)

OWNER
Autonomy test cell / Program manager / Prime integrator lead
OUTPUTS
  • Post-run evidence of deviations/drift/dwell + confidence
  • Plan-relative outputs only when plan geometry is provided
  • JSON integration artifact for existing tools
so what

Converts “why did it deviate?” into repeatable, evidence-linked evaluation artifacts that reduce engineer reconstruction time and de-risk reviews.

PILOT WEDGE (first step)

Start with 1 mission profile and 1 log export converted to CSV; run 3–10 trials; deliver repeatable evaluation artifacts.

Telemetry-Instrumented Training

OWNER
Training director / Evaluator lead / Instructor cadre lead
OUTPUTS
  • Evidence-linked review events (advisory)
  • Comparable outputs across runs/cohorts
  • Plan vs actual when plan exists
so what

Improves evaluator consistency and reduces AAR subjectivity by giving standardized, evidence-linked review events across cohorts.

PILOT WEDGE (first step)

One course block, 5–10 sessions, validate evaluator agreement and reduction in stitching time.

ISR / Sensor-Heavy Mission Evaluation (post-mission)

OWNER
Mission evaluation lead / ISR support contractor lead
OUTPUTS
  • Post-mission execution legibility and gaps
  • Deviations/drift/dwell patterns with evidence windows
  • Advisory roll-up for reviewer prioritization
so what

Makes execution legible after the mission so evaluation teams can brief intent vs execution without timeline stitching.

PILOT WEDGE (first step)

One mission type, one export source; produce a review-ready output package; confirm where it fits in existing workflows.

Defense R&D / Experimentation Programs

owner
Lab experiment lead / OTA PM / experimentation cell lead
outputs
  • Repeatable post-run outputs across trials
  • Planned vs actual when plan exists
  • Evidence-linked findings for comparison
so what

Enables consistent comparison across trials by producing repeatable post-run outputs under a controlled doctrine/config.

pilot wedge (first step)

Sprint on 1–3 runs to validate outputs and define the pilot scope for larger experimentation.

Field IQ is post-mission and advisory. It does not provide real-time control, command and control, or automated adjudication.
