OmniTAK — ATAK-Style Tactical Awareness for iOS OmniTAK brings the power and familiarity of ATAK to your iPhone and iPad. Built with a high-performance Rust core and native iOS interface, OmniTAK delivers real-time situational awareness with the tactical UI that operators know and trust. Whether you're coordinating search and rescue, managing field teams, supporting emergency response, or training for tactical scenarios, OmniTAK provides blue force tracking, collaborative mapping, and secure communications—without being locked into a single server or network. ATAK-FAMILIAR INTERFACE OmniTAK mirrors the ATAK experience that millions of operators have trained on. The professional tactical theme, navigation drawer, bottom toolbar, and status bar feel immediately familiar. If you know ATAK, you know OmniTAK. Satellite, hybrid, and standard map views powered by native MapKit deliver smooth performance. Color-coded CoT markers display friendly, hostile, unknown, and neutral units in real-time.

Supports TCP and UDP with optional TLS encryption. SECURE CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT OmniTAK stores all client certificates in the iOS Keychain with hardware-backed protection. Import from .pem, .crt, .key, .p12, and .pfx files, or enroll directly from your TAK server using username/password authentication. View certificates with validity status and expiration tracking. Full mutual TLS authentication keeps your tactical data encrypted end-to-end. TACTICAL TOOLS Draw circles and polygons to mark areas of interest, search zones, or operational boundaries. All drawings persist across sessions with high-visibility tactical colors. Broadcast your position with configurable metadata. Filter units by affiliation for cleaner operational pictures. Navigate with bearing and distance tools built for tactical operations. EXTENSIBLE PLUGIN SYSTEM OmniTAK features a secure plugin architecture for extending functionality. Plugins run in sandboxed contexts with permission-based API access. Create custom CoT handlers, map overlays, UI components, and network integrations.
