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.

ABOUT_ENGINDEARING

Engindearing builds open-source software for TAK and counter-UAS. OmniTAK is the flagship, built solo from zero to the App Store.

Everything ships Apache 2.0, so teams own the code rather than rent it back. The work is public on GitHub, and the writing behind it is on Medium.
