ΠΠ½ΡΠ΅Π³ΡΠ°ΡΠΈΡ TAK
Meshtastic integrates with the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) ecosystem, enabling interoperability between Meshtastic mesh devices and TAK applications like ATAK and WinTAK.
ΠΠ±Π·ΠΎΡ
The TAK module allows Meshtastic nodes to:
β’ Share position data in TAK-compatible CoT (Cursor on Target) format
β’ Appear as team members on TAK map displays
β’ Receive TAK PLI (Position Location Information) messages
Setup
Prerequisites
β’ ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) or WinTAK installed
β’ Meshtastic ATAK Plugin installed
β’ TAK module enabled on your Meshtastic radio
ΠΠ°ΡΡΡΠΎΠΉΠΊΠΈ
1. Navigate to Settings β Module Config β TAK.
2. Enable the TAK module.
3. Configure the TAK team/group settings:

ATAK Plugin Setup
1. Install the Meshtastic ATAK Plugin from the plugin repository.
2. Open ATAK and enable the Meshtastic plugin.
3. The plugin bridges messages between ATAK and your mesh network.
TAK Roles
Nodes configured with TAK-related roles behave differently from standard clients:

β π‘ Tip: Use TAK Tracker for devices that only need to report position (e.g., a radio mounted in a
β vehicle). Use TAK for devices where users actively participate in TAK operations.
CoT (Cursor on Target) Format
TAK messages use the Cursor on Target XML format β a military standard for sharing situational awareness data. Meshtastic converts its internal protobuf messages to CoT format when bridging to TAK systems, so no manual format conversion is needed.
TAK Identity
When using TAK roles, your node broadcasts identity information that appears on TAK maps:

These settings appear in Settings β Module Config β TAK when the TAK module is enabled.
β π‘ Tip: Team/role colors are the standard TAK affiliation colors. Coordinate with your TAK team
β to use consistent team assignments.
Wire Format (V1 / V2)
Meshtastic supports two TAK wire formats:

The app automatically selects V2 when both sides support it. No manual configuration needed β the TAK module negotiates format based on firmware capabilities.
Usage with ATAK
Once configured:
β’ Meshtastic nodes appear as markers on the ATAK map with callsign labels
β’ Chat messages can bridge between mesh and TAK networks
β’ Position updates flow bidirectionally between Meshtastic and TAK
β’ TAK Tracker nodes broadcast PLI automatically β their positions appear on ATAK maps without any ATAK-side configuration
β β οΈ Note: TAK integration requires specific node roles and module configuration. Standard client
β nodes don't automatically participate in TAK operations.

Security Considerations
β’ TAK data shares your position and callsign information
β’ Ensure your channel encryption is configured when using TAK in sensitive environments
β’ The TAK module respects the same channel encryption as other Meshtastic messages
