GoTAK partners with RTO Technology to provide field-ready SDR capabilities


In an exciting new partnership, GoTAK LLC and RTO Technologies have collaborated to deliver field-ready Software Defined Radio (SDR) kits designed to enhance tactical operations. These kits are not just any SDR solutions; they are rugged, portable, and optimized for integration with ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) and GoTAK Rugged End User Devices (EUDs), allowing users to unlock the full potential of spectrum analysis in the field.

Empowering Field Operations with Spectrum Analysis

Spectrum analysis is critical for identifying and monitoring wireless transmissions, and this becomes particularly useful in tactical environments. The ability to scan and sweep the spectrum between 1 MHz and 6 GHz offers a tremendous advantage in detecting and classifying different types of signals, such as:

  • Communication devices like radios and walkie-talkies.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals from potentially unauthorized devices.
  • Military radios and encrypted signals.

With the RTO Technology SDR kits, users can perform real-time spectrum sweeps, providing situational awareness via listening in to frequencies and detecting what bands are in use in near proximity.

Enhancing ATAK with SDR and GoTAK Rugged EUDs

Integrating SDR capabilities directly into ATAK, supported by GoTAK Rugged EUDs, transforms how field operators interact with the electromagnetic spectrum. These devices enable operators to monitor and analyze frequencies while leveraging ATAK’s map overlay features for real-time intelligence. This seamless integration helps users track devices, visualize signal strength, and coordinate communication strategies in high-stakes environments.

Moreover, sweeping the spectrum can help detect rogue devices attempting to infiltrate secure communication networks, alerting users to potential threats. The GoTAK EUDs, ruggedized for durability and designed to withstand extreme conditions, ensure that users in harsh environments can maintain operational readiness without worrying about equipment failures.

Field-Ready SDR Kits: A Tactical Force Multiplier

By leveraging RTO Technologies’ expertise in SDR solutions and GoTAK’s rugged platforms, this collaboration provides tactical teams with an all-encompassing tool that enhances both communication and electromagnetic situational awareness. Whether in remote areas or urban environments, the ability to sweep the spectrum from 1 MHz to 6 GHz adds a critical layer of intelligence gathering, enabling teams to make informed decisions on the fly.

In summary, the GoTAK SDR Kits, combined with ATAK and GoTAK Rugged EUDs, offer a comprehensive solution for field-ready spectrum analysis, empowering tactical teams to stay ahead of threats and ensure operational success.
