AIS Cursor-on-Target Gateway.

Project description

IF YOU HAVE AN URGENT OPERATIONAL NEED: Email ops@undef.net or call/sms +1-415-598-8226

Screenshot of AIS points in ATAK-Div Developer Edition.

aiscot receives AIS Sentences from an AIS Receiver, such as ais-decoder, converts them to Cursor-on-Target Events, and transmits the CoT Events to a destination.

For use with CoT systems such as ATAK, WinTAK, etc. See https://www.civtak.org/ for more information on the TAK program.

Utilized for an open ocean boat race in the Northern Pacific Ocean, as described in this article: http://ampledata.org/boat_race_support.html
