TAK2ESRI
Bridging the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) ecosystem and ESRI to deliver real-time location data and a unified common operating picture for defense, law enforcement, and first responders.
The Challenge
Connecting two disparate ecosystems, ESRI and TAK, to share real-time location data across organizations and command structures.
The ACS Solution
TAK2ESRI connects the Team Awareness Kit ecosystem to the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ecosystem, providing seamless integration and a unified common operating picture.
Adeptus Cyber Solutions’ TAK2ESRI solution serves as a crucial link between the TAK ecosystem and ESRI, providing seamless integration and visualization of location data inside ESRI. This solution is particularly valuable for law enforcement, first responders, government, and defense applications where real-time location information is critical for decision-making.
TAK2ESRI connects to a TAK Server and listens for position updates sent out by TAK EUDs, converts those location updates, and posts them into an ESRI feature service. Once the data is in the ESRI feature service, it can be consumed and visualized however the user chooses.
