A full TAK client lives inside the same 3D scene as your radar tracks, imagery, and terrain analysis. Reach a TAK Server over STOMP mTLS-wss, or drop to UDP multicast on a disconnected LAN — blue-force overlay, GeoChat, missions, and alerts either way. When the network is gone entirely, mission data packages move the picture by hand.
Most TAK integrations assume a server. VoltGrid speaks both dialects: STOMP over mutually-authenticated TLS WebSockets to a TAK Server, and plain UDP multicast for air-gapped enclaves where no server exists at all.

The Mission Board turns TAK missions into a working surface: tasks, a shared canvas, and a full after-action replay — all tied to the map.
Kanban-style task management for TAK missions — drag-and-drop task workflow with direct map integration, so a task card and its point on the ground stay linked.
A shared drawing surface with select, sticky, rectangle, ellipse, pen, and pin tools — sketch the scheme of maneuver where the whole team sees it.
Scrub through mission events on a timeline for after-action review — watch the operation unfold again, in order, on the same map.
Administer your TAK Server from inside the COP via the built-in Marti REST proxy dashboard — no separate browser session required.
Export and import missions as standard .zip packages carrying manifest.xml and CoT events — the sneakernet path for disconnected teams.
Define alert zones and get enter/exit alerts as blue-force tracks cross them — perimeter awareness without an operator staring at the screen.
Doctrinally correct symbols and the request formats operators actually transmit — built in, not bolted on.
Alongside TAK, a collaboration layer adds chat, voice, video, PTT, and off-grid mesh — with Cursor-on-Target integration for shared situational awareness.
Group rooms organized by mission or unit, direct messaging, presence, location sharing, file transfer, and persistent history for after-action review.
Radio-style PTT channels with dispatch integration, emergency alerts, GPS position sharing during transmissions, and compliance recording.
Off-grid team tracking and messaging over a LoRaWAN mesh — geofence monitoring, emergency broadcast, and live positions on the 3D map without internet.
The XMPP, VoIP, video, PTT, and Meshtastic collaboration services require network connectivity and configured external accounts or hardware; the TAK UDP-multicast path and mission data packages are the air-gapped workflow.
Blue force, radar, imagery, terrain analysis, and mission tasking in one desktop COP — connected to a TAK Server or fully air-gapped on multicast.
