Full DTC MANET radio control and live network visibility on a single application, keeping teams aware and in command in contested environments.
Operators already work from ATAK. ATAK-Mesh Plugin extends that interface to the radio itself, so a single device controls the DTC MANET (mobile ad-hoc network) network and shows the mission picture together. Radio configuration and waveform selection happen inside the app, locally or across the network, with no separate controller in the field. Spectrum analysis and scanning run from the same screen, local or remote, with a snapshot facility that captures the RF picture before operators commit.
Tactical networks lose tempo when the radio and the command application sit apart. ATAK-Mesh Plugin closes that gap, bridging DTC IP Mesh radios with the ATAK ecosystem across DTC platforms and tactical smartphone deployments. Data link and signal quality status overlay directly onto the operator's map, turning live radio health into shared situational awareness. Network visibility and remote management carry into one view, so commanders read the network as the mission moves. As an ATAK software plugin, it scales from a single operator to a distributed team without added hardware.
Resilience starts where infrastructure ends. ATAK-Mesh keeps the position and status of soldiers and assets in view without reliance on external GPS devices, so awareness survives when satellite positioning does not. Degraded connectivity, reduced power, or a node critical to network integrity is surfaced for proactive intervention, keeping the Mesh survivable. Security holds at the same standard, with local and remote zeroization, a shared blacklist and whitelist, and remote wiping of any compromised asset. The plugin is field-proven on DTC MANET radios already deployed in demanding operations.
Full internal Mesh network integration inside ATAK. Operates with and without Cursor on Target (CoT) enabled.
Configure radios and select waveforms from the app, locally or across the network, with no separate controller.
Local and remote spectrum analysis and scanning, with a snapshot facility and remote interference display.
Data link and signal quality status overlay onto the operator's map. Live network health becomes shared awareness.
Position and status of soldiers and assets without reliance on external GPS devices.
Local and remote zeroise with a shared blacklist and whitelist. Remote wipe of compromised assets, immediate or on reconnect.
Any node acts as a collection point. Radios sense contested spectrum for ground and uncrewed (UxV) reconnaissance.

ATAK-Mesh turns the operator's ATAK device into a control point for DTC MANET radios, delivering resilient communications and remote radio management to teams operating in contested or disconnected environments. For programmes that need radio control and situational awareness in one interface, with security that holds, ATAK-Mesh is the software plugin that keeps the network in view when it matters most.
