This project is a web-based, interactive Area of Responsibility (AOR) tactical map designed for Coast Guard boat crew training and operational familiarization. The primary objective is to create a clean, modern, nautical-themed interface that allows users to visually explore their operational area while learning critical geographic, navigational, and mission-relevant points. This map will serve as both: • A professional training tool • A mission planning and familiarization aid • A foundation for future BCM qualification features ________________________________________ Core Purpose The AOR Map is designed to help boat crew members: • Memorize key locations • Identify hazards and structures • Recognize aids to navigation • Understand patrol sectors • Build operational confidence before underway missions The focus is on geographic mastery of the operating area. ________________________________________ Core Features 1️⃣ Tactical Map Interface • Clean, light nautical theme (modern Coast Guard look) • Interactive coastal map view • Clickable AOR points • Zoomable layers • Professional, mission-ready design (not “game-like”) ________________________________________ 2️⃣ AOR Point Database Each point on the map will include: • Name • Type (marina, structure, buoy, bridge, inlet, hazard, SAR hotspot, etc.) • Description • Operational notes • Associated risks • Photo (if available) • Optional training notes All AOR points will be exportable in CSV / Excel format. ________________________________________ 3️⃣ Map Modes Standard Mode Used for familiarization and mission planning. Tactical Mode Clean overlay with: • Sector boundaries • Patrol zones • Channel lines • Major aids to navigation Training Mode • Users click a location and must identify it • Timed recognition mode • Multiple-choice identification • Score tracking ________________________________________ 4️⃣ Visual Recognition Integration Users can: • Identify structures visually • Recognize bridges and inlets • Identify aids to navigation • Recall channel routes This directly supports Boat Crew board preparation. ________________________________________ 5️⃣ Patrol Sector Layer Optional layer to display: • Assigned patrol areas • SAR priority zones • Environmental hazard zones • Congested traffic areas ________________________________________ 6️⃣ Professional UI Design The visual theme will be: • Light nautical palette (not dark tactical) • Coast Guard-inspired color scheme • Clean typography • Minimal clutter • Modern and professional — suitable for unit-level use ________________________________________ Data Output The project will generate: • CSV export of all AOR points • Excel version for editing/updating • Ability to expand the database ________________________________________ Future Expansion (Boat Crew Integration) While the map is the primary focus, it will eventually integrate into a broader Boat Crew training platform that includes: • BCM qualification pathway • GAR 2.0 risk assessment scenarios • Mission simulations • Navigation exercises • Visual RB-S recognition • Readiness scoring The AOR Map will serve as the geographic foundation for these additional training modules. ________________________________________ Deliverable A modern, web-based, interactive tactical AOR map that improves geographic familiarity, patrol readiness, and operational confidence for Coast Guard boat crews.
