TACT EVAC
Tactical Airbase Evacuation System autonomous AI-driven aircraft rescue under active threat conditions.
About the Project
What We Built
TACT EVAC is a fully integrated intelligent evacuation management system designed for high-value military airbase environments. The system automates detection, prioritisation, and physical relocation of strategic aircraft assets during red alert conditions — a process that historically depended on manual coordination under extreme time pressure.
The Problem We Solved
Challenge, Solution & Outcome
Manual aircraft evacuation relies on human crews who cannot monitor a large airbase simultaneously, make prioritisation errors under stress, and cannot replan blocked routes fast enough.
A unified AI platform combining computer vision threat detection, rule-based asset prioritisation, autonomous tow robots, and a real-time WebSocket command dashboard.
Eliminated the human bottleneck in airbase evacuation continuous perception, instant prioritisation, and dynamic route recalculation with no manual intervention required.

Key Features
YOLOv8 + OpenCV dual-stage pipeline processes 35 simultaneous CCTV feeds to identify fires, explosions, and route blockages with near-zero false positives.
Structured asset priority system ensures B-2 Spirit stealth bombers are evacuated before UH-60 Blackhawks, reflecting strategic value and replacement cost.
A* and Dijkstra algorithms compute and continuously recalculate safe evacuation routes as the threat landscape evolves in real time.
22 NavMesh-based tow robots operate as fully independent agents executing dispatch, attachment, tow transit, gate queue, and bunker delivery cycles.
React frontend receives real-time WebSocket updates displaying mission progress, robot fleet status, asset priority queue, and on-demand CCTV feeds.
Fully self-contained authentication operates over local area network only no external internet dependency, immune to remote network attacks.
