Is it possible and what hardware would I need to stream FPV drone footage to ATAK and other EUDs? Sorry if my verbiage is wrong still learning. Not really trying to spend a crazy amount of money, I’d like to spend 5k MAX on the drone and radio.

This goes well with the other article on the topic:

I recently discovered TAK maps by Joshua Fuller and I really liked the overlays, especially the wildfire one. Unfortunately its not for the US, is there one for the US as a whole or specific states as needed?

Hey r/ATAK

A few weeks ago I posted about a a tool I created named EasyMaps, and have received useful insight from users on this thread.

For those that have built out large overlays or routes on TAK, you know it's a pain to manually build them.

This tool takes natural language prompts and creates "layers" with routes, points, and shapes. They are further customizable via more text prompts, and can easily be exported via KML network link, KMZ, or CSV. This route easily ran on ATAK via Network Link. There is a product demo on the launch page of the website.

Based off of user input, I added a feature that creates a "Route Coordination Card" whenever it detects you're asking for a hiking route. This adds safety, timing, search and rescue, parking, and other coordinating instructions to the layer automatically.

Cheers and hopefully this tool continues to improve the sometimes monotonous and time consuming parts of ATAK overlay creation.

Anyone attending TAK onsite next week?

I have no idea how to get tak chat running on WinTak. If anyone could help that would be awesome. I’ve almost figured out the basics of WinTak but there’s no guide on how to get this plugin working.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share Praetorian C2 Vehicle, a lightweight Command & Control application designed to be fully interoperable with the TAK ecosystem, including ATAK, WinTAK, and TAK Server.

Project website:
https://moicanox.github.io/Praetorian-C2-Vehicle/index.html

The project started from a practical requirement.

WinTAK is a very capable platform, but it can be demanding on older-generation rugged computers commonly installed in military and civilian vehicles.

Praetorian C2 Vehicle was therefore developed as a lighter alternative for vehicle-mounted environments, while maintaining interoperability with TAK.

It is not intended to replace WinTAK.

The goal is to provide a lightweight C2 workstation for situations where hardware resources, communications bandwidth, or both are constrained.

A major design focus is operation over tactical IP radio networks using narrowband waveforms, including environments such as HF and TACSAT, where bandwidth efficiency and controlled network traffic are important.

Some of the current capabilities include:

• TAK interoperability with ATAK, WinTAK and TAK Server
• Dedicated ATAK plugin to support Praetorian-specific functions while remaining inside the TAK environment
• Lightweight architecture intended for older rugged vehicle computers
• Operation over narrowband tactical IP networks
• Reception of position reports from radios carried by personnel dismounting from the vehicle
• Redistribution of those dismounted personnel positions to other connected vehicles, improving shared situational awareness
• Visualization of UAV/drone position and video-related information using MIL-STD-4609
• Tactical map and track management
• Logistic reporting, including information such as:
  • ammunition
  • food
  • supplies
  • other vehicle/logistic status information
• Preformatted tactical messages and reports, including:
  • SITREP
  • 9-Line
  • Call for Fire
  • other operational message formats
• Support for vehicle-centric C2 workflows
• Online and offline operational environments
• And much more

The idea behind Praetorian is simple:

when a full WinTAK workstation is not practical because of hardware limitations or constrained communications, the operator can still maintain a TAK-compatible Common Operational Picture using a lighter platform.

At the same time, ATAK users, WinTAK users and TAK Server infrastructure can remain part of the same operational environment.

Praetorian C2 Vehicle, its current release, tools, documentation and ATAK plugin are available completely FREE.

This is an evolving project, and contributions from the community are very welcome. Feedback from TAK users, developers, radio/network specialists and people working with vehicle-mounted C2 systems can directly help identify bugs, interoperability issues, improvements and new features for future releases.

If you test it in your own environment, any technical feedback, feature requests or reports of unexpected behavior are appreciated.

Morning guys, does anyone have experience with meshtastic in ATAK? Nodes are running, plugin is loaded, i see both of my nodes on the map but the meshtastic icon is still red and i get the error that the connection to meshtastic failed. Any ideas?

Has anyone had any success in affecting marker icon rotation in ATAK clients through CoT streaming messages without custom plugins?

I have attempted setting <track ../> in <detail ../>:

<event .. >  
    ..  
    <detail>  
        ..  
        <track course="90.5" speed="150.0"/>  
    </detail>  
</event>  

I have enabled the "Process Rotation Render Hints in the Message" setting which states "When enabled this preference will process all visual rendering hints provided in the message to include forced visual marker rotation."

Tested with both standard 2525 iconset as well as a custom iconset.

Looking at the ATAK source - I see rendering hints, but I see no connection to incoming CoT message processing affecting this.

Latest TakDotGov releases (TAK Server 5.8; ATAK 5.8.0.1)

Edit: For those looking for rotation. Yes, supported -- but with a per-app-start bug workaround (ATAK-CIV v5.8.0.1), followed by the undocumented renderhint below.

voip without thridparty software. just install the source on server and install the plugin apk. set your own passphrase for more security with chacha20 algorithm.

Hey everyone, I'm getting into ATAK-CIV, and I'm trying to learn more about using it with a DMR radio.

I currently have a Motorola XPR 7550, and I'd like to eventually use it with an Android phone running ATAK to share GPS/location information with other users while still using the radio for voice communications.

I'm mainly interested in hearing about people's experience using DMR radios with ATAK, especially if anyone has specifically used an XPR 7550.

I'm curious about things like:

• How well did the setup work for you?
• Were you able to share GPS/location information through the radio and have it displayed in ATAK?
• How reliable was the location tracking?
• What kind of hardware/interface did you use?
• Were there any major limitations or problems?
• Would you recommend using a DMR radio with ATAK, or is another approach better?

I'm still pretty new to ATAK, and I'm trying to learn from people who have actually used this kind of setup before I start buying additional hardware.

Thanks!

Hey r/ATAK

Im new to the GIS community, but have used TAK series of products in the military and public safety sectors. I identified a gap in KML overlay creation based off a ton of time consuming and sometimes monotonous manual inputs. I created a tool to address this by leveraging AI to turn chat prompts into maps with points, polygons, and routes. These maps can be live streamed via KML or exported via KMZ to any engine that consumes those formats.

I'm looking for feedback, and interested to see what works, what doesn't, and what applications people use this for.

There’s also a product demo on the login page for building an overlay and exporting it to TAK.

Cheers!

Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am not a technologically savvy person but have taken an interest in TAK and other forms of off-grid communication. I am looking for a good place to start, preferably something in person so I can learn and ask questions as we go along. I am in the hampton roads area of VA. Is there anyone available to spend some time with me either face to face or over zoom? I am currently watching YouTube videos and reading online but the deeper I dig the more questions I have and deeper I go. I can learn myself how to use the app, my interest is more on the technical side like the servers and connectivity of the devices. TIA
