Hardware & Software Specifications Matrix
To maintain absolute data sovereignty, FORTRESS COMMAND executes entirely inside a localized sandbox. Review the minimal operational baseline metrics below to ensure your deployment station has the necessary computing power and system packages before installing the software.
🖥️ Minimal Hardware Requirements
| Component | Minimum Specification | Recommended Tactical Baseline |
|---|---|---|
| Processor (CPU) | Intel Core i3 / AMD Ryzen 3 (Dual-Core) | Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 5 (Quad-Core or better) |
| System Memory (RAM) | 4 GB RAM (Baseline Execution) | 8 GB RAM (Required if running local AI models) |
| Storage Space (HDD/SSD) | 500 MB Free Space (Core App Only) | 50 GB+ High-Speed SSD (For offline maps & local AI weights) |
| Power Consumption | Standard 45W Laptop Battery Architecture | Rugged field station linked to a 12V Solar Generator |
📟 Supported Devices
- Standard X86/64 Linux Laptops (Toughbooks, ThinkPads, standard notebooks).
- Note on Single-Board Computers: Native ARM deployment packages (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4/5) are planned for a subsequent open-source release cycle.
🔌 Minimal Software Dependencies
Base Operating System Platform
- Ubuntu Linux LTS Distribution (Version 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, or newer variations).
- Any lightweight, Debian-based Linux environment capable of running standard
.debinstaller packages natively.
Core Runtime Packages
Your Linux platform must have the following system layer active. If missing, the System Monitor module can assist with deploying them via elevated privileges:
bash
# Core system package flags required for native component loops:
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev build-essential curl wget
Use code with caution.
📡 Optional Tactical Hardware Extensions
While the core system, logistics database, scratchpad, and mathematical link calculators run completely out-of-the-box with zero hardware, interfacing with live airwave frequencies requires external physical tools:
- For Radio Monitoring: A cheap RTL-SDR USB Dongle V3/V4 (to stream raw spectrum data directly into GQRX Waterfall Monitor).
- For LoRa Mesh Tracking: A physical Meshtastic radio transceiver node (e.g., Heltec V3, T-Beam, or Rover box) plugged in via a standard USB Serial Data cable.
- For Off-Grid Intelligence: An updated installation of the Ollama Local AI Core engine running a compressed model profile (like
phi3:miniorllama3:8b).
