## Overview

This repository is a documentation release for the UCI 2.6 interoperability standard, not an implementation of a messaging runtime. Its principal adoption path is for programs to use the message schema and interaction rules to exchange command/control and situational-awareness data across heterogeneous systems. The standards documents also define schema design and release context, while Prisma is documented as a schema-visualization tool. The tree and README support these capabilities, but no source excerpts are available to establish implementation-level call flow or tool inputs.
