PDPC Watchtower Deployment Schedule and Global Expansion

Overview

This section lays out the document’s phased deployment schedule for the watchtower model (Section 4) and its proposed roadmap for expansion through 2030.

A phased approach

Rather than immediate full-scale implementation, the authors describe a deliberate, staged rollout — starting small, learning from pilots, and expanding as the approach proves workable:

• Phase 1 — 2026 (National): Pilot watchtower nodes — stand up initial nodes and training.
• Phase 2 — 2027 (Regional): Regional expansion — extend coverage to regional hubs.
• Phase 3 — 2028 (National): Civic brigade integration — integrate school shields and brigades.
• Phase 4 — 2029 (Global): Allied coordination — coordinate with allied partners.
• Phase 5 — 2030 (Global): Full deployment — reach target deployment and benchmarks.

These dates are the document’s proposed schedule, offered for discussion rather than as fixed commitments.

What the sequence reveals

Training precedes expansion; integration of the community layer comes mid-roadmap; and global coordination comes last, framed in terms of working with allied partners.

Connections within the document

The timeline operationalizes the watchtower concept from Section 4 and connects to the metrics dashboard in Section 15: the final phase is defined by reaching measurable benchmarks rather than by the calendar alone.
