Roadmap

What is built today and what is coming next. Items marked shipped are in the tree and gated by make check; roadmap items are planned.

Shipped

Core investigation stack

  • shipped Deterministic LangGraph pipeline (supervisor → triage → investigator → validator → drafter → approval) with a real interrupt() approval gate and durable checkpointing.
  • shipped The MCP audit boundary (knowledge / telemetry / procedure servers) with import-linter enforcement.
  • shipped Symmetric citation-integrity gates + telemetry grounding; UNGROUNDED blocks release.
  • shipped Cited rule-outs, onboard corroboration, knowledge gaps, self-consistency ranking, and a narrative critic.

Detection & ingest

  • shipped Detectors: annotation, ECOD, graph, onboard; the telecommand-response suppression filter.
  • shipped Telemetry sources: replay, samples-file, Yamcs, OpenC3 (+ streaming), MQTT, AWS Ground Station, ESA-ADB.
  • shipped CCSDS Space Packet decode + preview, PUS service classification (Service 5 onboard-anomaly reports), and the full CCSDS telemetry source (packet dump + layout dictionary → cited investigation).
  • shipped XTCE dictionary ingest + preview, and XTCE-container-derived CCSDS packet dictionaries (auto-derive the packet layout from an XTCE SequenceContainer).
  • shipped Streaming consumers — Kafka and native AWS Ground Station (a bounded read off a Kinesis stream of decommutated parameters, not raw VITA-49) on the same read-only TelemetrySource seam.
  • shipped Proactive watchlist triage sweep.

Platform & enterprise

  • shipped FastAPI service; the operator console (Casefile IA, RBAC, release gate, ingest, integrations).
  • shipped Real backends behind protocols (Neo4j, Qdrant, Postgres); durable persistence.
  • shipped Billing/entitlements + quota gate; usage metering.
  • shipped Identity — SAML + SCIM 2.0, OIDC seam.
  • shipped SIEM audit export; observability (OTel).
  • shipped Deployment — Docker Compose, Helm chart, one-command on-prem (k3d), air-gap posture.
  • shipped Benchmark harnesses — golden, grounding-quality, confidence-calibration; ESA-ADB detection benchmark; C-MAPSS RUL harness.
  • shipped Prognostics / RUL advisory head.

Roadmap

  • roadmap KG-prior GAT detector — a dual-attention graph model using the FMECA/KG topology as the adjacency prior, targeting the full-channel regime.
  • roadmap Frozen-TSFM cold-start — open-weight time-series-foundation-model embeddings + classical outlier detection for day-1 detection on a new spacecraft with no history (air-gap-friendly).
  • roadmap Per-tenant encryption keys / CMK and residency as the isolation boundary.
  • roadmap Certifications — ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, MeitY empanelment (pursued in customer-driven order; never claimed before held).
  • roadmap C-MAPSS real-data run — the harness is built and fixture-verified; needs the raw FD001–004 dataset.

Permanently out of scope

Anything that constructs, formats, or transmits a telecommand. VELA is advisory, forever.
