TAK 101 | END USER
ONLINE (ATAK-CIV)

OBJECTIVES

This online course is designed to equip end users with foundational skills when using the civilian version of Team Awareness Kit (TAK) in field environments. Participants will learn how to leverage the latest ATAK client to improve their situational awareness, communication, and collaboration skills.

In this course, we will focus on hands-on training to ensure that participants are not only familiar with ATAK’s interface and capabilities but are also proficient at employing them in support of general tasks.

  • Installing and configuring TAK clients for optimal use.

  • Navigating the user interface to quickly access and utilize default features and functionalities.

  • Using mapping and geospatial tools to enhance real-time decision-making and navigation.
