Good Situational Awareness Saves Lives

Situational Awareness
"He placed a marker, told the teams to converge on it, and we were able to quickly and effectively locate a runaway furnace active in a portable classroom. Had we taken time to finish out room sweep & not been able to quickly and efficiently redirect the crew to the correct location with minimal radio traffic, the outcome of the incident may have gone FAR worse. Tomorrow the school will open normally, and the furnace will be repaired instead of the alternative outcome. Thank you for this tool, it is irreplaceable."
Colorado CoE
In 2020 the Team Awareness Kit was awarded as part of the "Best of What's New" from Popular Science for its use in disaster response by the CoE and other agencies, and its open sourcing by the TAK Product Center. The CoE will continue to foster development and deployment of TAK through collaboration with military and civilian TAK stakeholders and partner public safety agencies. The U.S. Forest Service awarded a grant to the CoE in late 2020 to develop a TAK capability for wildland fire and conduct a pilot project deployment of the technology on a wildland fire. The CoE stood up a TAK server that ties all TAK users together and integrated this server with the Enterprise Geospatial Portal, a federally developed website containing fire maps and other intelligence.

TAK Server
TAK Server is a tactical information management platform that provides data access and encryption across disparate networks. TAK Server secures, brokers, and stores data in standalone and federated configurations. It is required whenever TAK clients are not operating in a peer-to-peer network or there is an operational need to encrypt and store mission data. Client plugins, such as DataSync and Execution Checklist, also require TAK Server.
