## What is Red Grid Link?

Your team. Your grid. No cell towers. No servers. No accounts.

ATAK costs nothing but demands a TAK Server, Android-only deployment, and an IT team to run it. Red Grid Link delivers the core capabilities — encrypted team position sharing, MGRS-native navigation, offline maps, and tactical reports — on any iPhone, with zero infrastructure. Open the app. Start a session. Your team appears on the map.

Built by an active duty Army officer for SAR teams, hunting parties, backcountry groups, and civilian units that need blue-force tracking without the bureaucracy.


FIELD LINK — ENCRYPTED TEAM SYNC:

Devices within Bluetooth range auto-discover each other and share encrypted positions, waypoints, and markers in real time.

- AES-256-GCM encryption with ECDH P-256 ephemeral session keys
- Live position updates every 5-30 seconds (battery-adaptive)
- Cross-platform: iPhone and Android in the same session
- Zero pairing, zero configuration, zero accounts
- 2-device free tier, up to 8 devices with Pro+Link


MGRS NAVIGATION:

Live 10-digit Military Grid Reference System precision — the same coordinate system used by NATO forces worldwide.

- 4/6/8/10-digit MGRS display (1-meter precision)
- MGRS grid overlay at all zoom levels
- Magnetic declination (WMM model)
- NATO phonetic voice readout for hands-free grid calls


OFFLINE MAPS:

Download topographic regions over WiFi. Navigate completely offline. USGS Topo and OpenTopoMap coverage with MGRS grid rendering at every zoom level.


EMERGENCY BEACON:

One-tap SOS sends your GPS to every teammate. Full-screen alert with distance and bearing. Retransmits every 30 seconds until cancelled.


TACTICAL MESSAGING:

8 pre-canned tactical messages plus free text. HELP, STOP, RALLY ON ME, ALL CLEAR, and more. One tap to send across the team.


TEAM ROLES & COORDINATION:

- Assign Lead, Scout, Medic, Comms, or custom roles with callsigns
- Share waypoints with the team or keep them private
- Draw boundaries and get alerted when anyone crosses them
- Drop markers for hazards, rally points, objectives, or caches
- Ghost markers show last-known positions when teammates go out of range


11 TACTICAL TOOLS:

Dead Reckoning, Two-Point Resection, Pace Count, Back Azimuth, Coordinate Converter (MGRS / Lat-Lon / DMS / UTM / FixPhrase), Range Estimation, Slope Calculator, ETA / Speed, Magnetic Declination, Celestial Navigation, MGRS Precision Reference.


AFTER-ACTION REPORTS:

One-tap PDF export: map snapshot, mission timeline, per-member tracks, markers, team roster, and boundary events.


4 TACTICAL DISPLAY THEMES:

Red Light (night vision safe), NVG Green (night observation device compatible), Day White (high visibility), and Blue Force (tactical blue display).


4 OPERATIONAL MODES:

One engine, four presentation layers. Terminology and quick actions adapt to your mission: Search & Rescue, Backcountry, Hunting, or Training.


ZERO FOOTPRINT PRIVACY:

- No accounts, no sign-up, no login
- No cloud, no servers, no analytics, no tracking, no ads
- Location data stays on your device
