What is TAK?

Team Awareness Kit

TAK is a government-developed geospatial situational-awareness application (with Android variant ATAK) that shares position, mapping, and messaging across a team in real time. Widely used by SOF and increasingly in logistics for a shared operating picture on commodity devices.

TAK is the de-facto edge client for shared awareness in SOF and adjacent missions; logistics data that speaks TAK's language travels further.

In FORGEFORGE can surface logistics and asset data in formats that interoperate with TAK's Cursor-on-Target ecosystem.
