AIS to TAK Gateway - Maritime Domain Awareness for Public Safety & Defense

AISCOT provides critical maritime domain awareness by streaming real-time vessel tracking data directly into Team Awareness Kit (TAK) platforms. This solution enables public safety professionals to monitor maritime activities with comprehensive situational awareness through native TAK integration.

Key Capabilities

  • Real-time Maritime Tracking: Continuous AIS data capture and reporting for immediate threat assessment
  • Native TAK Integration: Seamless compatibility with ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, TAK Server & TAKX using Cursor on Target (CoT) protocols
  • Multi-source Data Fusion: Support for RF AIS transmissions, local NMEA feeds, and Internet-based AIS aggregators
  • Comprehensive Vessel Intelligence: Display vessel icons, attitude, type, track history, bearing, speed, callsign, and maritime identifiers
  • Government Data Access: Integration with US Department of Transportation SeaVision for enhanced coverage

Use Cases

  • Port Security: Monitor vessel approaches and harbor activities
  • Border Protection: Track maritime border crossings and suspicious activities
  • Search & Rescue: Coordinate response efforts with real-time vessel positions
  • Intelligence Operations: Analyze maritime patterns and vessel behaviors
