ATAK Plugin Development

VK Integrated Systems has proven expertise developing plugins for the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK). Creating plugins for natively interfacing and controlling hardware systems with ATAK is our specialty. 

Achieving a common operational picture requires TAK Government-off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software application functionality across a variety of platforms. TAK’s geospatial mapping engine was originally developed for the Android operating system and allows third party software to run inside of ATAK, called Plugins. 

ATAK runs on a Android devices and hosts a wide variety of useful tools and functionality.

• Leverage ATAK's native networking and geospatial mapping to display your products data.
• Only a plugin can allow the user to make full use of custom data types and messaging.
• Plugins are a great way to deliver your product to the end user. 
• Meet DoD requirements

Having your own plugin allows your hardware to connect to ATAK.

• Visualize sensor position location information (PLI) in real time.
• Sensors can connect to an Android device via Bluetooth, WiFi or USB.
• Geospatially display sensor metadata.
• Multidomain compatibility and integration.
• Continued Operational control in denied austere environments.

Users benefit from running your plugin on ATAK
