October 05, 2025 — Eight weeks after Anduril won a $99.6 million prototype Other Transaction Authority agreement for the Army’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), the 4th Infantry Division became the first unit to use NGC2 in live fire training at an event called Ivy Sting 1. The exercise demonstrated a division-level targeting process running entirely on Anduril’s Lattice Mesh and Palantir’s Target Workbench (TWB) from headquarters down to the gun line, firing faster, more reliably and more resiliently than legacy systems.

Operational Success Starts with TAK
Complete Situational Awareness
Maps and situational awareness (SA) are critical to coordinated tasks in many contexts, including kinetic military action, law enforcement, civil protection, and disaster relief. TAK has the ability to display a wide variety of map data, either stored or downloaded in real-time. TAK is the USG's premier tool for shared SA data and has the largest selection of features designed to facilitate real-time coordination between team members through the use of mission specific plugins.
Pre-Mission Planning
In addition to the standard mission execution planning tools, mission specific capabilities give a user more insight into certain aspects of their assigned tasks. Navigation tools, including viewshed analysis, help users select and traverse a pre-planned route buy displaying the elevation profile of the route along with speed, distance, and bearing to the next waypoint.
Pre-mission planning is essential to enabling safe, effective, and rapid deployment of resources. TAK enables effective planning by providing a common understanding of exposure and vulnerabilities based on real time updates of any rapidly developing environment.
Streamlined Deployment
Points, routes, drawing objects, and files can be shared through TAK user defined groups, teams or simply broadcasted. While most data sharing clients require a server, TAK’s CoT & chat sharing features can operate in a server-less environment amongst nodes operating on the same network. TAK Server can be introduced to extend client connectivity across networks or federated for persistent command and control.
From highest commander to the ground forces and attached air & sea assets, deploying with the TAK Common Operational Picture ensures safe, dynamic, and effective mission execution.
