@ingalls #ATAK is an android app that is gaining interest among first responders for situational awareness, including for wildland fires. It is federally funded and free (must be USA citizen). The USFS is *very* interested.

@ampledata Well that's cool.

What hardware are you using? The 'official' TAK server is pretty heavy, but some of the alternative server implementations are pretty lightweight.

(I wonder if it would run on a #NanoPi? Might have to test that out.)
#TAK #ATAK

@ai6yr @mappingsupport @ampledata Yes for sure. Greg and AJ have helped me a ton with their video resources and discussion in the Slack workspace. I'm at the point where I really need to use #ATAK on a fire, with daily map and SA updates, and ideally other users. I can only learn so much by playing around with it outside of an incident.

@bud_t @mappingsupport Greg @ampledata had pointed me at some good YouTube videos on the ATAK stuff before... He's the #ATAK master in my list LOL

And for anyone learning #ATAK there are lots of videos you can find with a google search.
A good place to start are the videos produced by fire captain 'AJ'. You can find those videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwQGzHkLVJiNzJJvh3lLGmA

@mappingsupport @JohnFisher @ai6yr @ampledata that Slack group has been very helpful to me over the past months while learning #ATAK

@JohnFisher @bud_t @ai6yr @ampledata

For any first responders following along here there is a 'by-invitation' Slack group helping each other come up to speed on #ATAK. Ping me with your email and I will ask the coordinator to send you an invite.

@mappingsupport @ai6yr @ampledata I've been working on learning #ATAK for the past ~6 months in anticipation of its adoption and use on large interagency fires, and expecting that the comms unit will play some role in supporting it. It has been pretty fun diving in.

@ai6yr @ampledata Speaking of #ATAK, the #USFS is also moving towards use of TAK apps. https://www.cofiretech.org/feature-projects/team-awareness-kit-tak

Recently I published several PDF tutorials showing how to display various kinds of #GIS data with ATAK and #WinTAK. Those tutorials do not include #iTAK since it is such a different critter compared to the other 2. https://mappingsupport.com/p2/atak/display_gis_data_with_atak.html

If you ignore ~75% of the ATAK features, the remaining features make a great hiking app. Alas, there is a learning curve.

#FIRIS and #CALOES apparently playing with #ATAK @ampledata https://piped.video/watch?v=8P567UDX00A

While I have been quiet on here I have been busy on RF. Playing with my Chinese clone USDR as well as with #ATAK over #meshtastic on some android phones I got off marketplace. As well as #aprs over 433mhz #lora

Ukraine has delivered the first two engines for a promising attack helicopter ATAK-II to Turkey https://mil.in.ua/en/news/turkey-receives-ukrainian-engines-for-a-promising-atak-ii-attack-helicopter/ #Ukraine #Turkey #ATAK #Helicopter #TAI

I just published #OpenAthena for Android v0.13

The User Interface is now much easier to use, and the app now automatically adds calculated targets to ATAK (if you happen to have it running)

#OpenAthena for Android is coming along well, with some significant UI improvements staged for v0.13.

I'm also currently working on implementing the Cursor on Target message compatible with DoD systems like ATAK

@parapsychological This is dope, I love the phone setups. Very slick. We use #atak and #mesh for coordination during ops. Easy to coordinate searches. Esp with a drone.

Fiddlin with #meshtastic and #atak

Been looking at a few different flavours of self hosted #ATAK servers. I just want something simple to share packages and have about 10 friends connect. It seems the COTS concept is fairly easy but then every flavour massively overcomplicates end user enrollment. So much SSL bullshit. #itak #wintak #atakserver
