Scope note: the tracker records only publicly sourced events with a dated reference. Absence of an entry is not evidence of absence; it means no public signal has been captured within the current coverage frame. Comparison rows keep their original unit counts and delivery language, so figures are not silently normalized across customers.

Confidence labels distinguish verified documents from reported signals. Where a prime or package summary is partial, the entry stays in the table with the gap visible rather than filled by inference. Corrections and new public sources are folded into the next review cycle and noted in the change log.

Method & rules

Method

Rows appear only when a dated public order, operational-use, testing, service-entry, transfer, delivery, or industrial-pressure signal is already grounded in the live archive and linked to a reusable source.

Coverage frame

The recurring feed follows the public comparison set: allied and export-reference systems with stronger public-source footing. Strategic Aegis architecture and benchmark peers remain separate archive references until a dedicated tracker frame adds real workflow value.

Update cadence

Event-driven. Add or refresh rows when official orders, operational-use signals, testing milestones, service-entry events, transfers, deliveries, or industrial-pressure signals materially change a reviewed system family.

Normalization rule

Where batteries, launchers, missiles, radars, and support packages cannot be cleanly normalized, the tracker keeps those fields qualitative instead of forcing fake unit precision.

Change-log rule

Do not add rumor, commentary, or undated backlog talk. Add one dated anchor row when a material public order, operational-use, testing, service-entry, delivery, transfer, or pressure signal improves workflow value, and keep the source trail visible on each line.

Comparator handling

Rows are meant to help compare demand, live-use maturity, service maturity, delivery movement, and pressure across the public comparison set. They do not imply that lower-layer GBAD, upper-tier BMD, strategic Aegis architecture, and benchmark peers belong in one like-for-like ranking.
