Solace Communications Selects GoTAK to Develop ATAK Plugin and TAK Integration for Vector APNT
The Solace Vector ATAK plugin connects assured positioning hardware with TAK, giving operators position updates, confidence information and visibility into changing signal conditions.
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA, November 10, 2026 – GoTAK has been selected by Solace Communications to develop and maintain the ATAK plugin and TAK integration for its Vector assured positioning, navigation and timing (APNT) lineup. The collaboration connects Solace’s positioning technology with the TAK operational environment, helping personnel understand both their location and the reliability of the information they receive.
The Solace Vector ATAK plugin feeds position updates directly into TAK and displays location status, satellite visibility and position confidence. Operators can see their position alongside the information needed to assess how much they can rely on it as conditions change.
Assured Positioning in the Field
Vector PUK connects to an end-user device through USB or Bluetooth. Its compact, wearable hardware combines Iridium Satellite Time and Location (STL) technology with an inertial measurement unit (IMU), magnetometer and pressure sensor to support positioning, including in GNSS-denied environments.
Solace’s fusion engine combines these inputs with the connected device’s GNSS feed when it assesses that feed as reliable, rejecting it when it cannot be trusted. This approach is designed to deliver the best available position as signal conditions change.
Processing on the Vector hardware supports detection of jamming and spoofing conditions, helping notify operators when conventional satellite navigation may be compromised while continuing to provide position estimates and associated confidence information.
Position and Confidence Inside TAK
The plugin places Vector’s positioning information directly within the operator’s existing TAK workflow. Position uncertainty, receiver status and signal information are visible alongside position updates, helping personnel recognize degraded conditions and assess the information available to them.
For teams operating where GNSS may be disrupted or manipulated, that context matters. A position on a map is more useful when the operator can also understand its confidence and the status of the system providing it.
The integration responds to requests for resilient PNT within TAK, connecting wearable Vector hardware with the end-user devices personnel already carry.
Development and Ongoing Support
Solace Communications selected GoTAK to develop and maintain the ATAK plugin and TAK integration across the Vector APNT lineup. The collaboration pairs Solace’s positioning hardware and fusion engine with GoTAK’s ATAK plugin development and integration capabilities.
