Tactical software,
open source.
Engindearing builds OmniTAK, an open-source Team Awareness Kit client for iOS and Android. Off-grid Meshtastic comms, drone detection, and multi-server mission sync. Apache 2.0, live on the App Store.
What OmniTAK does
A full TAK client built solo from zero to the App Store. Here is what it ships with.
Cross-platform TAK client
One shared map on iOS and Android. Cursor-on-Target, the operator's picture, rendered the way the field expects it.
TAK Server & mission sync
Multi-server connections, mission sync, and data packages over CoT, including the Marti API dialects that trip up most clients.
Off-grid Meshtastic comms
Position, team chat, and GeoChat over LoRa mesh when there is no network, with TAKPacket interop back to ATAK.
Counter-UAS awareness
Drone detection and the map around it. FAA Remote ID over Bluetooth and WiFi, plotted as live tracks on the team picture.
Plugins & interoperability
Runs alongside ATAK, iTAK, and WinTAK. Sensor-to-CoT adapters get detections onto the map in the format the force already speaks.
National grids & 7 languages
MGRS, UTM, TWD97 and more, with the interface translated into seven languages, including translations contributed by the community.
