SBA-certified SDVOSB · 255N · 255A · Edge AI for Signal shops
ChiefOS runs with no network, on one box.
ChiefOS is an edge AI kit for Army Signal shops. It runs with no network, on one small box at each dispersed small command post.
On the box today: a Networks app for the 255N, a Help Desk app for the 255A, a guided fault walkthrough, Ask Chief, AAR capture, and Maint Shop with DA 5988-E. The Soldier types in the fault they found. ChiefOS doesn't find it for them.
Networks plans the link. Help Desk works the users.
In a lot of units the 255N and the 255A are different shops. ChiefOS puts both on one small box per dispersed small command post. It runs with no network.
ChiefOS Help Desk · 255A
255A · Help DeskThe help desk for the 255A shop. User problems and the work that shop already does, on the box, with no network.
A green link doesn't help a user who can't log in.
Same box at the command post. The Soldier still types the fault. The warrant still owns the shop.
The problem
- Most small command posts aren't starting from a clean sheet. Legacy radios, mission command systems, and unit-built tools still carry the mission.
- NGC2 is coming, and the unit shouldn't have to reorganize to get there.
- One Signal shop can't stand at every dispersed command post.
- When a link fails, the Soldier on site is the one who sees it.
- The notebook walks out at PCS, and the next crew starts cold.
- Frequency assignment stays with the spectrum manager. ChiefOS doesn't take that job.
What you get on the box
- A Networks app for the 255N: will the link close, and which terminal fits.
- A Help Desk app for the 255A, on the same box.
- A guided walkthrough after the Soldier types in the fault they found.
- Ask Chief for doctrine and technical manual questions, with no network.
- An AAR that stays on the box for the next shift.
- Maint Shop with a DA 5988-E the Soldier fills in.
The Soldier types it in. Then the box walks it.
ChiefOS doesn't open a ticket because it spotted a fault. There's no live log ingest. The Soldier types in the fault they found, and the box walks the checks. Ask Chief is there for the doctrine and the technical manual. The AAR stays on the box.
1
You type itSoldier types the fault
They write what they found. A radio that won't pass traffic, a shot that won't close, or a user who can't get on.
2
WalkthroughWalk the checks
ChiefOS walks the checks for that fault. The Soldier still does the hands-on work.
3
Ask ChiefAsk the pubs
Ask Chief answers doctrine and technical manual questions on the box. It isn't reading a live config.
4
ShopsHelp desk or maintenance
User problems go to the 255A Help Desk. A maintenance fault can go to Maint Shop on a DA 5988-E.

AARCapture the AAR
What the shift did stays on the box. The next crew isn't starting from a blank page.
Networks · 255N
Will the link close?
Before the shot, the 255N uses the Networks app to see if the link will close and which terminal fits. That's planning. It isn't spectrum management, and it doesn't assign frequencies. The spectrum manager still does that.
Help Desk · 255A
The user still can't work
The link can be up and the command post still stops if a user can't log in. The 255A works that on the Help Desk app, on the same box, with no network.
What ChiefOS actually does
Six things are built. They run on one small box, with no network, at a dispersed small command post. Anything past this list is a next step.
Networks app
255N initial link and SATCOM planning. Will the link close, and which terminal fits. Frequency assignment stays with the spectrum manager.
Help Desk
The 255A help desk, on the box, with no network.
Fault walkthrough
The Soldier types in the fault they found. ChiefOS walks the checks. It doesn't find the fault for them.
Ask Chief
Doctrine and technical manual questions and answers. COMSTAT, built on the earlier Ask Chief app, was ChiefOS 1.0.
AAR capture
The shift writes down what happened. It stays on the box.
Maint Shop
DA 5988-E for the maintenance fault, filled in by the Soldier.
Runs with no network
No cloud and no reachback. The box works at the command post when the transport doesn't.
One box per small command post
One small box. It drops into whatever structure the unit has today, at the tactical edge.
The Soldier types the fault
ChiefOS doesn't find faults on its own. You type in what you found. The warrant still owns the call.
Next step. Don't read this as a feature list.
These are in progress, or they're designed to connect. They are not built, and a prototype is not a fielded connection.
- ATAK plugin. Next step. Not on the box.
- NGC2 and C2Now connection. Designed to connect. Not built.
- Anduril Lattice. In progress. Not a working integration.
- Live log and config ingest. Not built. The box doesn't read the kit on its own.
- NetOps escalation. Not built.
- Multi-node views. Not built. One box, one small command post.
- A CoT bridge exists only as a prototype.
Roadmap: legacy systems to ATAK + NGC2
Most units aren't starting from a clean sheet. They've got legacy systems still carrying the mission, and NGC2 is coming. ChiefOS is built for that gap. It drops into whatever structure a unit has today and runs at the edge with no network. ATAK and NGC2 are the next step, and a unit shouldn't have to reorganize to get there.
Runs with no network
Plan the link, run the help desk, walk a fault, and ask the pubs while the box is disconnected.
One box per command post
One small box per dispersed small command post. You set it on the table and work.
Who builds it
TK Tech Venture is an SBA-certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Founded by a retired CW3 255N Signal warrant officer. Nolanville, Texas, near Fort Hood.
From the earlier Ask Chief app
COMSTAT was ChiefOS 1.0
COMSTAT was built on the earlier Ask Chief app, and it was ChiefOS 1.0. ChiefOS now is the edge kit: one small box per dispersed small command post, running with no network. TK Tech Venture is an SBA-certified service-disabled veteran-owned small business, founded by a retired CW3 255N Signal warrant officer, in Nolanville, Texas, near Fort Hood.
ChiefOS was favorably recommended by the Army's cyber and signal capability developers. TK Tech Venture was invited to participate in Army FY27 experimentation. ChiefOS will be in Project Convergence Capstone 7 (PCC 7).
Start with one box
Put one box at a dispersed small command post and run it with no network. If it earns the spot, put a box at the next command post.
