OpenTAK Integration

ATLAS integrates with the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) ecosystem for real-time team coordination.

What is TAK?

TAK (Team Awareness Kit) is a situational awareness platform used by military, law enforcement, and emergency services. ATLAS can push your assessment data to a TAK server for team visibility.

Supported Platforms

ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit)
WinTAK (Windows)
iTAK (iOS)
TAK Server (FreeTAKServer, OpenTAK, etc.)

Setup

1. Get Your TAK Server Config

You’ll need a TAK server configuration file (.zip) from your TAK server administrator. This typically contains:

Server connection details
SSL certificates (if required)
User credentials

2. Import Config in ATLAS

Go to Settings → TAK Server
Tap Import Configuration
Select your TAK server .zip file
Enter any required credentials
Tap Connect

3. Verify Connection

Once connected, you’ll see:

Server status (online/offline)
Your callsign
Available groups and missions

Pushing Data to TAK

ATLAS can export the following to your TAK server:

Cards — Captured access cards with location
POIs — Points of interest
Notes — Field notes with GPS coordinates
Situational Awareness — Cameras, ALPR, entry points, barriers

To Push Data

Open a project
Tap the TAK icon in the toolbar
Select items to push
Confirm upload

Data appears as markers on your team’s TAK map.

KML Export

If you don’t have a TAK server, you can export to KML format:

Open a project
Tap Export → KML
Share the file with your team

KML files can be imported into Google Earth, ATAK, or any GIS software.

Troubleshooting

Can’t connect to server?

Check your network connection
Verify the server is online
Ensure certificates haven’t expired
Try re-importing the configuration

Data not appearing on team map?

Confirm you’re in the same TAK group/mission
Check that items have GPS coordinates
Verify push completed successfully
