Product Description​

The Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK-CIV) offers matching capabilities to the ATAK-MIL baseline with minor changes from the military lexicon. TAK-CIV is made available to support the principles of civil authority emergency operations: prevention, mitigation, preparation, response, or emergency evacuation and recovery. The primary difference between MIL & CIV is the baseline signing key that restricts military specific capability from being loaded through plugins. Just like ATAK-MIL, ATAK-CIV is network-agnostic and works with many tactical communication systems. ATAK-CIV supports DoD and commercial formatted maps, imagery, and overlays. Where possible, the ATAK application adheres to the user experience design guidelines produced by Google to ensure that end users have a familiar experience.
