Your fleet doesn't
configure itself.
Every new mission needs different apps, certs, and network configs on every device. Doing that manually — USB cables, help-desk tickets, physical access — doesn't scale past five people. And when a device goes missing, waiting 24 hours to wipe it isn't an option. WARDEN enrolls any Android device with a single QR scan, pushes policy to the entire fleet in seconds, and issues commands that arrive in ~3 seconds.
Built for teams
with no margin for error.
A SAR lead hands a brand-new Pixel to a volunteer with zero setup time. One QR scan — ATAK installed, team certs loaded, mesh radio profile set, device kiosk-locked and ready. Operational in five minutes. No USB cable. No IT desk. No waiting.
Device Owner · Kiosk · Silent Install · QR Enrollment
Issue Ring from the console — the phone starts screaming. If it's gone for good, Wipe takes three seconds: factory reset, every cert and case file destroyed, nothing recoverable. The audit log proves chain of custody before the incident report is due.
Ring · Wipe · ~3s Delivery · Audit Trail
Push a new mission profile from the console at 0200. Every operator's EUD picks up the updated ATAK overlay, new mesh frequency, and new comms cert on next heartbeat. No physical access. No USB daisy chain. Done.
Policy Push · Silent Cert Push · Fleet Groups · Heartbeat
WARDEN writes a live heartbeat for every enrolled device. CORTEX reads it in real time. Ask 'which ambulance units are below 20% battery?' and get an answer in seconds — no manual check-in sweep, no radio calls, no guessing.
Kiosk Mode · CORTEX · Live Heartbeat · Push-to-TAK
One console. Every device. In ~3 seconds.
Every device in your fleet needs the same apps, the same certs, and the same settings — and when the mission changes, every device needs to change with it. WARDEN is the control layer that makes that possible: enroll with a QR scan, push any change to thousands of devices in seconds, issue live commands that arrive in ~3 seconds.
Core Capabilities
Drag a policy onto a device or group. Every enrolled device picks up the new config — apps, certs, restrictions, VPN — on next heartbeat. No USB cable. No IT ticket.
Lock any device to a single app for mission deployment. One app, no exit without an admin password. The EUD becomes a dedicated tool — ATAK only, nothing else.
Push ATAK, plugins, certs, and mission configs to every device in the fleet — no user prompts, no app store, no physical access. Upload an APK once, assign to thousands.
Organize devices into nested groups — All Devices → Field Teams → Alpha Team. Each level inherits or overrides policy. One change at the top propagates down through the entire structure.
Policy presets engineered for the EUD V3 GrapheneOS stack. Knox-safe debloat removes unwanted vendor apps without breaking attestation. Pre-loaded and pre-licensed on every EUD V3.
Every enrollment, command, policy change, and token generation logged in chronological order. Filterable by device or action type. The compliance-grade chain of custody government procurement requires.
Enrollment Modes
Full MDM. Factory-reset the device, scan a QR on the welcome screen. The launcher installs as Android Device Owner — you get everything.
Lite MDM. Install the WARDEN launcher APK on an existing device — no factory reset required. Right for BYOD scenarios or when resetting isn't an option.
Remote Commands
Locks the screen immediately. Device requires auth to re-enter.
ReversibleRestarts the device. Returns to locked BFU state on startup.
ReversiblePlays a loud alarm to locate a misplaced or lost device.
ReversibleForces the device to push its current GPS position immediately.
One-ShotExits kiosk mode or unlocks the device screen remotely.
ReversibleFactory-reset. Destroys all keys, certs, and case files. Confirmation required.
IrreversibleCORTEX, the TAK OS cognitive layer, pulls live device state from the Redis heartbeat feed. Battery, location, network, app status — available to the AI in real time. No other MDM product ships this.
Enable Push-to-TAK in policy and device positions stream into TAK Server as CoT contacts — visible on Overwatch alongside human EUDs. Your WARDEN fleet and your ATAK operators share the same common operating picture.
Why not off-the-shelf MDM?
Intune will push Outlook updates to your Android fleet just fine. It has never heard of ATAK. It can't provision a TAK server, push ATAK plugins silently, stream device positions to your common operating picture, or answer 'which Alpha Team devices are low on battery?' WARDEN was built for the TAK ecosystem. Nothing else does this.

What operators and IT managers ask before deploying WARDEN. If yours isn't here, contact us — we'll get you a real answer in under 24 hours.
Yes. WARDEN MDM is bundled with every paid TAK OS subscription — Starter, Team, Core, and Enterprise. No separate MDM license, no per-device fee on top of your plan. Government and military contracts typically include an on-premise WARDEN failover option.
Compare to standalone MDM products at $4–8 per device per month (Intune, Hexnode, Scalefusion). At scale, WARDEN is dramatically cheaper because it ships inside the platform.
Device Owner (recommended): Factory-reset the Android device, tap the welcome screen 6 times to open the hidden QR scanner, scan the provisioning QR from WARDEN. The launcher installs as Android Device Owner — you get full MDM: kiosk mode, silent app install, camera and USB disable, screenshot blocking, force encryption, and full location reporting.
Device Admin (lite): Install the WARDEN launcher APK manually on an existing device. No factory reset required. You get policy push, remote commands, audit trail, and group assignment — but not kiosk, silent install, or hardware-level restrictions. Right for BYOD scenarios where a reset isn't an option.
Yes. WARDEN manages any Android device running Android 8 or later — Samsung, Pixel, Motorola, ruggedized handsets. The same Device Owner and Device Admin enrollment modes work on stock Android.
GrapheneOS devices running the EUD V3 configuration get Tier-1 hardening policy presets, Knox-safe debloat, and the pre-loaded launcher. Other Android devices get the full MDM feature set without the GrapheneOS-specific hardening layer.
Device Owner mode: under 5 minutes from factory reset to operational. Tap the welcome screen 6 times, scan the QR from the WARDEN enrollment panel, and the device downloads the launcher, installs as device owner, auto-enrolls, and picks up its assigned policy — all without touching the device again.
The EUD V3 is pre-loaded with the WARDEN launcher and pre-paired to your org. First boot enrollment is a single QR scan — no APK download, no manual steps.
From the WARDEN console, issue a command — it arrives in ~3 seconds on any device with an active connection:
Every command is logged in the audit trail with status: pending → sent → acknowledged → success / failed.
Yes — in Device Owner mode. Upload APKs to your org's app catalog (stored on Wasabi S3 via presigned URLs), assign them to a policy with an Install action, and every enrolled device picks them up on next heartbeat — no user prompts, no app store, no physical access.
The Files policy tab pushes arbitrary files to specific device paths: ATAK certificates, mesh radio profiles, VPN configs, and any other mission file your operators need. One save, propagated to every device in the group.
Enable Push-to-TAK in the Location tab of any WARDEN policy and device positions stream to your TAK Server as standard CoT contacts. Every enrolled device with that policy appears on Overwatch alongside your human EUDs — same map, same common operating picture.
Location update interval is policy-controlled (default 60 seconds). No ATAK install required on the managed device — just the WARDEN launcher.
WARDEN writes a live heartbeat to Redis every time a device checks in — battery level, storage, Wi-Fi SSID, last location, app status. CORTEX, the TAK OS cognitive layer, reads this feed in real time.
That means the AI tactical advisor can answer natural-language queries about your fleet: "Which Alpha Team devices are below 30% battery?" or "Which devices haven't checked in for the last 10 minutes?" — pulled live from device state, not a cached report. No other MDM product ships this.
Yes. The WARDEN launcher and policy framework ships pre-loaded and pre-licensed on every EUD V3. The launcher is patched, signed, and Knox-safe. First boot enrolls the device into your org via a single QR scan — no separate APK download, no configuration required.
Every EUD V3 kit also includes ATAK, licensed plugins, encrypted comms, VPN, and the SDR stack pre-installed. Power on and operate.
Yes — for Enterprise and Government engagements. The WARDEN protocol server (Fly.io in the hosted edition) can be deployed inside your boundary as an on-premise or air-gapped instance. Supabase (PostgreSQL) and Redis can similarly be self-hosted.
Architecture is scoped during procurement. For defense and government requirements, contact sales@getgotak.com or book a scoping call.
Stop configuring devices
by hand.
WARDEN is included in every paid TAK OS subscription. Scan a QR code — device enrolled. Push a change — every device gets it in seconds. Lose a device — wipe it in three. The IT department you don't have just became optional.
