Operational scenarios

Scenarios are problem definitions describing operational requirements for data-centric security in coalition environments. Each includes actors, operational flow, constraints, technical challenges, and measurable acceptance criteria.

Scenarios are deliberately solution-agnostic: they describe what needs to be solved, not how.

#	Scenario	Coverage	Key Challenge
01	Coalition Strategic Sharing	High	Multi-nation intelligence sharing with federated key management
02	Tactical Unit-to-Unit	None	DDIL environments without strategic infrastructure
03	Legacy System Retrofit	None	Adding DCS to existing applications
04	Cross-Domain Sanitisation	None	Automated content redaction across classification domains
05	Mission-Based Coalition Sharing	Partial	Time-limited, mission-scoped data access
06	Intelligence Fusion Centre	Partial	Multi-source intelligence fusion with provenance
07	Coalition Air Operations	Minimal	Real-time data with safety-critical overrides
08	Maritime Domain Awareness	Minimal	Sensor fusion with compartmentalized access
09	Disaster Recovery and Backup	Partial	Backup lifecycle with encrypted data

Coverage column

Coverage indicates how well the current reference architectures address each scenario. See the gap analysis for details on what's missing.
