To empower the warfighter by pioneering cutting-edge innovations for the Team Awareness Kit (TAK), delivering advanced capabilities that enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and safety for the United States Air Force and Space Force in dynamic operational environments.
To be the forefront of tactical innovation, transforming the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) into a seamless, mission-critical tool that ensures unparalleled situational awareness, operational superiority, and safety for Air Force and Space Force personnel.
Deploy cutting-edge technologies to enable robust, tactical-level command and control (C2) through TAK, ensuring seamless, secure, and real-time communication capabilities for warfighters in dynamic operational environments.
Ensure TAK C2 systems adhere to interoperable, scalable, and sustainable technical architectures, facilitating seamless integration with existing and future systems while maintaining reliability and adaptability across Air Force and Space Force missions.
Transform legacy C2 technologies and processes by adopting innovative, modern methodologies within TAK, driving efficiency, agility, and mission effectiveness through advanced digital solutions tailored for the Air Force and Space Force.
We exist to make the TAK ecosystem accessible and useful regardless of AFSC or program, preventing siloed adoption and incompatible workflows.
TAK is highly configurable and different missions require different configurations. We focus on common technical standards, server architecture, and data exchange formats, while leaving tactical employment decisions to the units.
Since no single program office owns TAK across the enterprise, the CoE fills the coordination void by working across programs to ensure interoperability, reduce redundant workflow, and advocate for capability needs that don't neatly fit one program's scope.
TAK proficiency is not formally embedded in most training pipelines, so we provide the training infrastructure that doesn't exist elsewhere, helping units get operators and administrators up to speed.
TAK's open architecture means new capabilities can be developed and fielded quickly. We serve as a clearinghouse for evaluation, vetting, security, and operational utility, getting them into the hands of users faster.
Government Off the Shelf (GOTS) situational awareness application. Communications pathway agnostic, delivering a real-time tactical edge common operating picture from ops centers to dismounted operations.
TAK is the standard for JTAC & TACP coordination and deconfliction.
Empowers emergency responders to manage incidents with shared, real-time data, aligning directly with programs like DMSAT.
Provides a low-footprint, decentralized C2 capability, enabling small, agile teams to operate effectively in austere environments.
TAK is the de facto standard across the DoD and allied partners, ensuring operational synergy during joint missions.
