## Breakdown of Message Sources & Types
### 1/ Autonomy Engine
#### Transmit
* mission plan _(sent per platform??)_
* TBD:
* Will emergency commands be sent via the autonomy engine (from the GUI) or directly to the C2s?
#### Receive
* configuration file
* emergency stop all
* decoded ecosub status message
* decoded reav status message
* decoded autosub-hover status message
* decoded ecosub observation data _(from squad 1 platforms)_
----------------------------------
### 2/ Ecosub C2
#### Transmit
* compiled ecosub mission plan
* decoded ecosub status message
* autonomy configuration file
* decoded ecosub observation data
#### Receive
* mission plan
* encoded ecosub status message
* encoded ecosub observation data
----------------------------------
### 3/ Autosub C2
#### Transmit
* compiled autosub-hover mission plan
* decoded autosub-hover status message
* autonomy configuration file
#### Receive
* mission plan
* encoded autosub-hover status message
----------------------------------
### 4/ Reav C2
#### Transmit
* decoded reav-60 status message?
#### Receive
* mission plan
* encoded reav-60 status message?
----------------------------------
### 5/ Hermes Box/Hydrosurv Smart Router?
#### Transmit
* encoded ecosub status message
* encoded (or is this already decoded?) reav status message
* encoded autosub status message
* encoded ecosub observation data
* TBD:
* are there acknowledgment messages from platforms?
* how are we receiving beacon messages per platform?
#### Receive
* compiled ecosub mission plan
* compiled reav mission plan
* compiled autosub mission plan
* compiled ecosub emergency command
* compiled reav emergency command
* compiled autosub emergency command
