ARGUS-PD/POD-7K — projectile tradespace explorer

Move the moving-mass and release-speed sliders and watch the conservation-law screening quantities from Papers I–III recompute live, against the deposited non-dominated frontier and the two hard conservation screens (E_k ≤ 150 GJ, B_ideal ≤ 16.5 T); installed nameplate, coupling area, flight time and miss-σ are reported attributes. Every relation here is the deposited, unit-tested v1.2.0 model — the same code and the same 28-point frontier that ship in the reproducibility package.

Illustrative, non-operational. A conservation-law and parametric screen for a hypothetical planetary-defence research system — no targeting, firing logic, trajectory optimisation, or buildable launcher design. Fixed active length 7,000 m; efficiency η=0.35; field screen 16.5 T; screening distance 0.5 AU. Numbers are study allocations, not as-built figures.

Provenance: argus_pd_repro/argus_model.py · deposited data pareto_front.csv, design_space_grid.csv, reference_family.csv (v1.2.0). Frontier and grid are the exact deposited values; live slider outputs are recomputed in-browser from the identical relations and agree with the deposited reference family at its five points. Not a system of record; not engineering design.
