FreeTAKServer 0.8.19

An open source server for the TAK family of applications.

FreeTAKServer

Welcome to the FreeTakServer (FTS) git repository.

FTS is a Python3 implementation of the TAK Server for devices like CivTAK , WinTAK and ITAK, it is cross-platform and is only dependent on python stdlib libraries. We use the Flask framework for web services. it's free and open source (released under the Eclipse Public License).

Use cases

FTS allows you to connect ATAK clients to share geo information, to chat with all the connected clients, exchange files and more. It intends to support all the major use cases of the original TAK server.

Community

This code is currently in BETA STAGE Check out our roadmap @ FreeTakServer#25 to see what is planned If you have any issues don't hesitate to bring it up https://github.com/Tapawingo/FreeTakServer/issues, as TAKFreeServer is still in the early stages of development.

Public instance

we support a public instance of FTS.

Architecture

TAKFreeServer uses a MVC pattern, the concept of a COT is described in a set of Domain classes, generated from the UML model using a Model Driven Architecture approach. The target architecture supports also the ability to implement "plugins", thanks to a listener, that is decouple from the main server

Documentation

under docs, you can find various documents including an UMl model of the model classes involved in a COT event.
