DroneShield has announced the release of its RfPatrol-Plugin for the Team Awareness Kit (TAK) ecosystem, now available for RfPatrol Mk2 users via the DroneShield Access Portal. The plugin integrates DroneShield’s counter-drone intelligence directly into the civilian TAK command-and-control (C2) environment, supplementing existing data streams, gRPC API, and involvement in the SAPIENT ecosystem.
“This means that operators who use the widely adopted, government-developed Civil Team Awareness Kit (CivTAK) platform can now seamlessly incorporate their RfPatrol drone detection data into their operational view, improving situational awareness and coordination in real time,” said the company in a press release. “The plugin advances the Company’s strategy to deliver scalable, SaaS-enabled solutions that meet customers where they operate.
CivTAK is the civilian variant of the TAK platform originally developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. “Today, TAK is the de facto standard for real-time geospatial mapping, situational awareness, and data sharing across security, public safety, and critical infrastructure organisations,” said DroneShield. “As of 2020, the TAK ecosystem had more than 250,000 users worldwide, a figure that has grown significantly since, underscoring the demand for trusted integrations such as DroneShield’s RfPatrol-Plugin. The RfPatrol-Plugin enables detections from the handheld RfPatrol Mk2 to appear directly on the CivTAK map interface in real time. Integrated notification cards provide instant alerts, helping field teams make faster decisions. Operators can overlay DroneShield detections with data from other sensors and telemetry from mobile devices, all within a single operational picture.”
