ATAK

説明 ATAK

Site Editorial Commentary：The Android Team Awareness Kit is a geospatial & situational awareness platform.

The Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) is the Department of Defense (DoD) nomenclature for the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) application. It serves as a comprehensive mission planning, geospatial intelligence, Full Motion Video (FMV), and system administration tool. ATAK significantly reduces the operational footprint, transitioning these capabilities from a tactical laptop to a commercial mobile device. Its geospatial engine and communications component are built to support both Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial sector standards.

The core platform's extensibility is facilitated by the Software Development Kit (SDK) available at [https://tak.gov](https://tak.gov). This SDK empowers partners to develop mission-specific capabilities or contribute to the advancement of the baseline functionality. Data can be either pre-loaded into ATAK or downloaded from the network when a connection is available.

ATAK-CIV (Civilian version) capabilities include:

* Online and Offline mapping supporting most standard formats, powered by a blazing fast rendering engine.
* Support for very high-resolution imagery (sub 1 cm resolution).
* Collaborative mapping features, including points, drawings, and locations of interest.
* An extensive and customizable set of Icons.
* Overlay Manager enabling the import and display of KML, KMZ, GPX overlays, maps, and imagery from both online and offline sources, with adjustable transparency. These overlays can be treated as Gridded Reference graphics.
* Location marking, sharing, and history tracking.
* chat, file sharing, photo sharing, video sharing, and streaming capabilities.
* navigation tools optimized for walking/hiking and Driving, also suitable for flying and air-ground coordination.
* Elevation Tools, including heat maps, computed contour maps, viewsheds, and routes with DTED and SRTM data, featuring dynamic profiling.
* Hashtags and Sticky tags for enhanced organization.
* Center on Self and Center on other objects (e.g., another person in the network) functionalities.
* Range, bearing, and other essential measurement tools.
* Network-aware geofences with configurable triggers.
* "Bloodhound" destination tracking, including tracking of moving objects.
* Team Emergency Beacons for rapid alerts.
* Customizable Toolbar for personalized user experience.
* radio controls and Integration for seamless communication.
* Photo to map capability (aka Rubber Sheeting) for georeferencing.
* Casualty evacuation tool for emergency response.
* Icon support for a wide variety of First Responder missions, with further extensible Icons.
* 3D perspective and ability to display 3D geospatial models.
* Useful for First Responders, Hunting, fishing, ornithology, wildlife site survey, and various other field operations.
* ATAK-CIV is open source and available at [https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV](https://github.com/deptofdefense/AndroidTacticalAssaultKit-CIV).

System Requirements:

* Operating System: ATAK requires Android 5.0 (API 21) or later.
* Hardware: ATAK does not require specific hardware and should run on any Android device that supports the other System Requirements.
* Graphics: ATAK requires a graphics processor that supports GLES 3.0.
* Storage, Memory and Processor: no specific requirements for storage, memory or processor- performance of the application will depend on the configuration.
* Recommended for optimal experience: Samsung S9 equivalent hardware or newer is used and for a tablet style device Samsung S2 equivalent or newer.

TAK CORE:

TAK CORE includes functionality that is common to all TAK applications and focuses on capabilities that can live in a cross-platform layer (simplifying the development and management of the library).

TAK CORE Features:

* Networking: All ATAK applications use a variety of network mediums to send situational awareness data, chat messages, and other file types associated with mission planning activities. The networking component of TAK CORE handles creating the appropriate message at the application level (Cursor-on-Target), manages receiving and dispatching messages, and brokers communication with the TAK Server product.
* Geospatial Data Processing: The TAK applications ingest geospatial imagery and overlay products for use on the moving map display.
* Geospatial Data Visualization: A set of rendering utility and helper functions exist in TAK CORE to standardize the way geospatial imagery and overlays are rendered to the screen.
* Geospatial Data Management: A data management capability is included in the TAK CORE to ensure that the data managed by TAK is relevant and accurate for the end user.
