GoTAK and PMC Group Malaysia Advance Tactical Readiness for Malaysian Special Operations Forces
GoTAK and PMC Group Malaysia are deploying a tactical proof-of-concept program connecting field devices, live tracking, video and command infrastructure to support readiness exercises across Malaysia’s tri-service special operations community.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, November 9, 2026 – GoTAK, in partnership with PMC Group Malaysia, has announced a proof-of-concept (POC) and operational exercise readiness program to evaluate connected situational awareness capabilities for Malaysian special operations forces. The initiative brings field-ready end-user devices (EUDs), TAK OS and integrated communications into a shared operational environment for personnel and commanders.
The program builds on GoTAK’s 2025 delivery of EUDs to Pasukan Khas Udara (PASKAU). It extends the evaluation of the GoTAK ecosystem across units under the Defense Special Operations Division (Bahagian Operasi Pasukan Khas Pertahanan – BOPKP), including 21 Grup Gerak Khas (21 GGK) of the Malaysian Army, Pasukan Khas Laut (PASKAL) of the Royal Malaysian Navy and PASKAU of the Royal Malaysian Air Force.
Connecting the Field to Command
The POC combines GoTAK-configured EUDs with backend infrastructure and tactical software to support a shared operational picture across participating units. Personnel can use field devices to view team positions, share mission information and access live video, while command elements receive information from across the exercise environment.
Blue Force Tracking and Cursor-on-Target messaging support the exchange of position and mission data between compatible systems. Tactical video streaming brings feeds from airborne, naval and ground reconnaissance elements to operators and command teams, adding visual context to the information shown on the map.
TAK OS and custom ECHO plugins connect these capabilities with workflows for tactical communications, field reporting, mission data sharing and casualty evacuation coordination. Together, they support the movement of information from personnel and sensors in the field to the teams responsible for coordinating a response.
Evaluating Capability Through Exercises
The program provides an opportunity to test TAK-based capabilities during live readiness exercises. Participating units will be able to evaluate how field devices, software and command infrastructure work together under operational conditions and identify adjustments needed for joint-force use.
The focus is on establishing a practical, interoperable command-and-control baseline that can be refined through exercise feedback. The POC will help inform future integration requirements and the development of capabilities suited to the participating units’ missions.
Supporting Future Programs
Building on the POC, PMC Worldwide Network and GoTAK are targeting the 2027–2028 timeframe for a full-system TAK capability to support 21 GGK’s parachute jumper program.
The partners also intend to use the exercise findings to inform potential expansion of TAK OS and integrated EUD capabilities to broader operational formations, including regular infantry units, as part of future soldier modernization programs.
Local Partnership
PMC Worldwide Network (M) Sdn Bhd, operating as PMC Group Malaysia, brings local defense procurement, tactical hardware and systems integration expertise to the initiative. The partnership combines those capabilities with GoTAK’s software, field devices and command infrastructure to support the POC and its future development.
