TRACK_IDENTITY (53000)

Correlation spine for the kill chain. Binds one real-world object to a globally-unique track UID that persists across find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess, so every downstream report can be tied back to the same object. Carries the basis of identification (method + confidence) separately from classification, and lineage when tracks split or merge.

This message asserts identity and how it was derived. It does not assert engagement authority; see TARGET_AUTHORIZATION.

Field Name	Type	Units	Values	Description
time_usec	uint64_t	us		Timestamp (UNIX epoch, microseconds UTC).
track_uid	uint8_t[16]			Globally-unique track identifier (UUID). Stable across the whole chain.

TARGET_CUE (53001)

Non-kinetic point-of-interest cue relayed from a sensing/ISR platform to one or more consumers (e.g. a manually piloted aircraft, an OSD, or a GCS) to direct attention to a WGS84 location for observation or investigation. Carries the geolocated point and minimal context only. It intentionally omits the authorization token, weaponeering, and CEP fields of the fires-related messages so that ISR cueing is cleanly separable from engagement on the wire.

Bearing and range to the cue are NOT transmitted: a consumer computes them locally from this point and its own GLOBAL_POSITION_INT, so the same cue is valid for every receiver regardless of position.

target_class and target_force on a cue are the SENSING platform's provisional read at detection, qualified by confidence_score - a starting hint, NOT an established identification. A cue does not identify or authorize; identification is carried on TRACK_IDENTITY and the engagement decision on TARGET_AUTHORIZATION. A consumer must not treat a cued class or affiliation as confirmed, and must never derive a release decision from a cue.

target_class	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_TARGET_CLASS	Provisional target classification from the sensing platform, qualified by confidence_score. A hint, not an identification.
target_force	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_TARGET_FORCE	Provisional force affiliation from the sensing platform, qualified by confidence_score. A hint, not a combat-ID determination; do not use as a release input.

ENGAGEMENT_DIRECTIVE (53023)

Engagement-control directive making abort, check-fire, resume, and re-target first-class actions alongside FIRES. The ability to STOP a mission is a protocol citizen, not an afterthought. Should be paired with MAVLINK_M_ACK so the originator gets positive confirmation the directive was received and actioned.

ESAD_STATE (53030)

Electronic Safe and Arm Device (ESAD) telemetry for one ESAD instance on a store. Reports arming, munition, and ignition states, fault flags, and software identity. esad_id identifies the device; store_id identifies the physical bay/store.

Field Name	Type	Units	Values	Description
time_usec	uint64_t	us		Timestamp (UNIX epoch, microseconds UTC).
esad_id	uint8_t			Vehicle-local ESAD instance identifier. Must be 1-254. 0 is invalid for ESAD_STATE, 255 is reserved. Systems that support broadcast arming set the same arming_challenge_hash on each target ESAD before accepting ESAD_ARMING.esad_id = 0.
arming_challenge_hash	uint32_t			Challenge hash for arming authentication of this ESAD instance.
fault_flags	uint32_t		MAVLINK_M_ESAD_FAULT_FLAGS	Active fault flag bitmask.
input_1	float			Analog/digital input 1 (implementation-defined). For the standard safety inputs use the typed fields below instead.

munition_type	uint8_t			Munition/store type identifier (implementation-defined).
store_id	uint8_t			Store instance identifier. Fixed physical bay assignment: a bay keeps its store_id permanently, and when a store is expended the bay may be reloaded under the same store_id. IDs never renumber. 0 = not applicable / single store. This is the canonical definition of store_id across the dialect.
pin_state	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_ESAD_PIN_STATE	Physical safety pull-pin state (read-only status).
arm_delay_setting	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_ESAD_ARM_DELAY_SETTING	Selected arming-delay switch position (90/60/30 s). The chosen setting.
arm_delay_remaining_s	int16_t	s		Live arming-delay countdown: seconds remaining after the in-flight-event signal until arming is permitted. -1 = not counting / not applicable. Distinct from arm_delay_setting (the switch position).
trigger_distance_mode	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_ESAD_TRIGGER_DISTANCE_MODE	Trigger-distance standoff mode currently in effect (coarse selection, not a distance value).
track_uid	uint8_t[16]			Track UID (UUID) of the engagement this store is armed for, when applicable. Ties the armed state to a specific authorized track so a monitoring station sees "armed against track X," not merely "an ESAD is hot." All-zero if not associated with a track.

ESAD_ARMING (53031)

ESAD arming command for one or more ESAD instances. arming_challenge_hash must match the active ESAD_STATE challenge for the selected instance. For esad_id = 0, each targeted ESAD must have advertised the same challenge hash; otherwise receivers reject the broadcast command.

Field Name	Type	Units	Values	Description
time_usec	uint64_t	us		Timestamp (UNIX epoch, microseconds UTC).

arming_request	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_ESAD_ARMING_REQUEST	Requested arming state change.
store_id	uint8_t			Target store instance identifier. 0 = all stores / broadcast.

ESAD_CONFIG (53032)

Authenticated configuration command for an ESAD that accepts live configuration of a safe/arm parameter (e.g. a proximity device whose trigger-distance mode is set from the FMU or edge compute rather than a physical switch). Authenticated the same way as ESAD_ARMING: arming_challenge_hash must match the value last broadcast in that store's ESAD_STATE, so an unauthenticated sender cannot reconfigure the device. Only coarse, device-defined SAFE/ARM modes may be set here; this message must never carry a free continuous distance, a fuze timing value, or any height-of-burst configuration. The resulting mode is reported back in ESAD_STATE.trigger_distance_mode.

trigger_distance_mode	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_ESAD_TRIGGER_DISTANCE_MODE	Requested coarse trigger-distance standoff mode. Coarse selection only.

STORE_STATUS (53033)

sensors_total	uint8_t			Total count of sensors on this store.

STORE_SENSOR_STATUS (53034)

Health and current reading of one deceleration/landing-trigger sensor on a store. Emitted per sensor (one message per sensor) so the set of sensors per store can vary. A pre-release consumer aggregates these into a go/no-go decision (see STORE_STATUS).

STORE_MUNITION (53035)

Descriptive munition inventory/status for a store, for mapping into a joint weapon-status report (e.g. at a JTAC/C2 interface). Reports WHAT is loaded so a gateway maps real data rather than synthesizing it; it does NOT carry fuze/employment configuration, which is device-internal and out of scope for this dialect. Keyed by store_id to correlate with ESAD_STATE / STORE_STATUS. Low-rate: changes on load and on release.

Field Name	Type	Units	Values	Description
time_usec	uint64_t	us		Timestamp (UNIX epoch, microseconds UTC).

Reports the mode only. It is a COARSE enum and MUST NOT be widened to carry a fuze timing / inter-stage delay value; the actual timing is device-internal and configured on the component bus (e.g. DroneCAN) below the FMU.
sd_duration	uint8_t		MAVLINK_M_SD_DURATION	Scatterable-mine self-destruct duration CATEGORY (not exact seconds), for mine payloads.

LOITER_MUNITION_CONTROL (53036)

Loitering-munition / one-way-attack UAS control and consent handshake (JFIRE 2023).
