Accessibility Statement (WCAG 2.1 AA+ / AAA)

Accessibility features built into defenseobserver.org — including keyboard navigation, sensory controls (Alt+A), reduced-motion compliance, and high-contrast OKLCH palettes.

Built-In Accessibility Features

DefenseObserver.org is engineered to be accessible to all readers, researchers, and assistive-technology users:

  1. Sensory & Accessibility Command Center (Alt+A): Press Alt+A on any page to adjust motion intensity, toggle audio micro-feedback, or activate the neurodivergent reading ruler.
  2. Respect for prefers-reduced-motion: All scroll animations, canvas particle fields, and marquee tickers automatically pause or revert to static layouts when your operating system requests reduced motion.
  3. Perceptual OKLCH Contrast & Light/Dark Modes: Switch between high-contrast dark obsidian themes and the Archival Paper light theme at any time from the header or footer.
  4. Full Keyboard Navigation: Use ⌘K / Ctrl+K for instant search, ? for keyboard shortcuts, Alt+H to cycle header docking, and Escape to close any modal or drawer.
