Subgroup:
Influence and Information CapabilitiesFocus Area:
Operationalizing Irregular Warfare
Project Cost:
$1,171,000
Project Duration:
18 months
Performer:
Raytheon BBN
Deliverable:
A TAK plug-in that provides a true Civil Common Operating Picture at the tactical and operational levels.
End User:
USASOC, USAID, DOS
Description:
An application for the Android Tactical Assault Kit (ATAK) that allows users to share and visualize civil information across DoD, DOS, USAID, Interagency (IA), and International partners necessary to drive whole-of-government influence operations. Users shall be able to view reports for a custom geographic area, and add updates in real-time on the ground. Integration of existing curated information (LiveUAMap), IA implementing partners, and partner/enabled force inputs will provide SOF Cross Function Teams (CFTs) and IA users greater situational awareness in the field. It provides a data repository-agnostic reporting platform compatible with Combatant Command (CCMD) Programs of Record (CIDNE, Palantir, FADE/MIST, DCGS-A) and common interfaces like Google Earth and ArcGIS. It shall be compatible with SOCOM’s Remote Advise and Assist Kit, integrate speech-to-text and display in all SOF foreign languages to maximize enabled forces’ input, and include a “training layer” to enable exercise injects in real time during training events.
Operational Impact:
CKI-TAK creates a common IA Civil / Influence picture to share information on a broadly used interface in the field and in real time, allowing users to effectively react to dynamic threats, report and analyze local/regional/national civil networks, and make timely and informed decisions to maintain operational tempo in the influence space.
Transition:
The app will be transitioned to the USASOC Special Operations Mission Planning Environment (SOMPE) office for software management and releasability.
