OFF-GRID
MESH
Self-healing · encrypted · license-free
Self-healing radio mesh between EUDs and field nodes. No towers, no carriers, no subscriptions. We qualify multiple mesh platforms — picked per AO, range, and bandwidth profile.
GoTAK LOADOUT · TAK AS A SERVICE
LOADOUT: TAK Deployment
as a service.
>
Most TAK-as-a-Service vendors hand you cloud credentials and walk away. LOADOUT is the entire operating stack — server, EUDs, tactical radios, plugins, and operations support — engineered, configured, and shipped as one kit. You sign a service agreement; we run the gear.
Four layers. One stack.
Hardware, comms, software, operations — engineered, configured, and dispatched as one. Each layer below details what ships, what's pre-configured, and what we keep running.
01
HARDWARE
Book a discovery call
Operator-ready, day one.
Every kit ships with the EUDs already provisioned for your unit. ATAK preloaded, certificates installed, mission templates staged, accessories matched. Power on and operate.
01 GoTAK EUD V3 · Samsung Tactical
Rugged 9.7" Android tablets and Samsung XCover handhelds — root-enabled, carrier-unlocked, hardened with optional GrapheneOS. Pre-loaded with ATAK, your unit's mission preferences, and operator certificates.
02 Pelican-grade flight cases
Foam-cut cases sized for the kit. Operators unbox, charge, and deploy. Cases double as field charging stations during operations.
03 MAAK chest mounts · vehicle docks
Battle-belt-compatible chest mounts and vehicle dock systems. Same MAAK ecosystem accessories deployed by tactical teams worldwide.
04 Power & charging systems
Fast-charge cables, multi-bay docks, and power banks sized for 24-hour field operation. Spares included; consumables refreshed quarterly.
HARDWARE · KIT
READY · 8 EUDs
Mesh, SATCOM, radios, cellular — one comms plan.
When the towers go down, the team stays connected. Every comms layer bridged to your TAK_OS server out of the box. We pick the specific devices once we know the mission — capability first, hardware after.
GLOBAL
SATCOM
High bandwidth · global reach
Satellite uplink when you're beyond every other network. From broadband terminals to low-power messaging units — a range of SATCOM-enabled devices in the catalog, matched to the mission profile.
TACTICAL
RADIOS
VHF · UHF · DMR · MANET
Tactical radios bridged into TAK as virtual contacts. PLI and CoT flow over the radio layer when the network is gone. We field analog, digital, and MANET handhelds — selected to match the team's bands and protocols.
FAILOVER
CELLULAR
Privacy eSIM · auto-failover
Privacy-grade eSIM on every EUD with global roaming. Auto-failover from mesh → SATCOM → cellular as link quality changes. Operators don't manage links — the kit does.
03 · SOFTWARE
The full server, plus the plugins.
Managed TAK_OS server with the GoTAK FORGE plugin suite pre-loaded. ATAK, iTAK, and WinTAK clients federated. Plugin updates push weekly. Server agnostic — federates to your existing TAK Server too.

From signed to fielded — fourteen days.
Every LOADOUT deployment is custom-scoped on a discovery call, then engineered, configured, and dispatched in two weeks. We run the gear; you run the mission.
-
Discovery & quote (Day 0)
Thirty minutes on the calendar covers your team size, mission, AO, and gaps. We map that to a stack — hardware, comms, plugins, support tier — and the quote follows within 24 hours.
-
Provision (Day 1–7)
We stage every EUD with operator certificates, pre-load ATAK with your unit's preferences, configure the radios, and stand up your TAK_OS server.
-
Deploy (Day 7–14)
The kit ships in flight cases inside two weeks. On-site or remote fielding session walks operators through their EUDs, the comms plan, and the SOPs.
-
Operate (Day 14+)
You're live. We monitor server health 24/7, push plugin updates weekly, ship overnight RMAs from Virginia Beach, run quarterly check-ins with your team.
-
Refresh (Year 2+)
EUDs rotated every 24 months. Radios upgraded as new firmware ships. Operators always carry current gear — no replacement-budget line-item to forget.
Different missions, different kit.
Patrol officers, SAR teams, fire crews, and tactical teams — each mission scoped to its own kit. Below: four mission profiles we've shipped to, with the LOADOUT we configured for each.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Law Enforcement
Equip patrol officers, SWAT, and detective units with rugged EUDs, mesh radios, and the TAK_OS server — without standing up a multi-vendor procurement. RIDAR cUAS at protected events; FORGE plugins for evidence chain-of-custody.

VOLUNTEER OPS
Search & Rescue
Volunteer SAR teams operate the same hardware as tactical teams — EUDs, MANET radios, drone integration, biometric monitoring — without paying capital costs. Refreshed gear quarterly, supported through ops tempo.

WILDLAND
Fire & Emergency
Wildland fire and emergency response teams field operator-grade ATAK kits with air tanker tracking, recon UAS feeds, and biometric force health monitoring. Pre-staged for the next dispatch.

Tactical Teams
Platoon-level kits engineered for compartmented operations. GrapheneOS-hardened EUDs, AES-256 mesh, MANET, SATCOM, and cUAS — all NDAA-aligned and EAR-99 / TAA / Section 889 compliant. Custom FORGE integrations on demand.

MUNICIPAL POLICE

Since introducing ATAK, my department is now looking at EUDs for every officer and SWAT team. Buying devices, setting them up, getting a TAK server running, and making sure all devices are on the same network would be a huge task. Having a no-code-needed, turnkey option that GoTAK offers makes equipping a department reasonable, affordable, and possible.
Patrol Officer Marco S.· Upstate NY Police Dept.
We have acquired EUDs from GoTAK, currently deployed on a platoon level in a Tier 1 Special Forces unit of a European country. These devices have consistently demonstrated reliability and ease of use in the most demanding environments. GoTAK's ability to deliver tailored solutions and seamless integrations has been instrumental in our field operations.
A.K.· European Tier-1 SOF · Defense Contractor
SAR is a volunteer program with a very limited budget — we can't all afford to buy our own GPS devices. GoTAK has enabled the whole team to possess tracking and information sharing with a few clicks. Video relay via drone to EUD, aerial detection of UAS, uninterrupted communications, and real-time tracking.
Trevor Beebe· Boonville SAR · Raven's Eye SAR
GoTAK's RIDAR hardware and ATAK plugin let a large North Carolina LE agency monitor drones during a New Year's Eve event. Multiple civilian UAS were detected and classified as 'Foe' in real time. The standout features are drone classification and exportable flight paths for evidentiary purposes.
Charles Laird· NCTAK · Public Safety
I've been around TAK since 2010, and this is by far the most eloquent and best rendering of live ADS-B traffic I've seen. No server? No problem. GoTAK is keeping you aware of your airspace in TAK.

Server-only TaaS hands you cloud credentials and walks away. You still source devices, integrate radios, write SOPs, and hire someone to keep it running.
LOADOUT is the entire stack — server, EUDs, tactical radios, plugins, and operations support — engineered, configured, and dispatched as one kit on one invoice. One vendor, one agreement, one quarterly invoice.
Yes. LOADOUT federates to any existing TAK Server (government, military, OpenTAKServer, or your own) over standard TLS with client certificate auth. We can deploy the hardware, comms, and plugin layers without replacing your server.
Or we run a new TAK_OS instance for you — your call.
Two weeks from signed agreement to flight cases on the loading dock. Faster if the mission demands it.
Discovery call is 30 minutes. Quote follows within 24 hours. Provisioning takes 7–10 days. Fielding session schedules within the same window — on-site or remote.
OpEx. LOADOUT is a service agreement, not a hardware purchase. You don't own the gear — we do. Monthly, quarterly, or annual billing. Fits inside operating budgets without standing up a procurement cycle.
We rotate the hardware on a 24-month cadence. No replacement-budget line-item to forget.
Yes. Add or return units month-to-month. Scale a 4-operator pilot to a 50-operator agency-wide deployment without renegotiating the agreement.
Cancel with 30 days notice — gear ships back in our flight cases, no resale liability.
Yes. Every kit is NDAA-aligned, with EAR-99-classified hardware where required. TAA-compliant configurations available for federal procurement. Section 889 compliant.
Made in USA components prioritized; ITAR licensing handled per deployment.
Standard tier: 9–5 weekday support, weekly plugin updates, monthly check-ins, overnight RMAs.
Optional 24/7 SLA tier adds a dedicated NOC engineer for critical-path operations and 4-hour critical-incident response.
