ATAK Plugin: TAKSat APK

The TAKSat Planner tool calculates the Azimuth and Elevation required to achieve communication with a Geostationary satellite.

When available, it uses Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) to determine terrain masking and whether communications are likely to be achieved. This can be from a fixed point or along a route. The tool can also generate a heatmap around a selected ground location to determine where in the local area communications are likely to be achievable from.

The plugin is pre-loaded with Immarsat BGAN satellites but users are able to quickly add other satellites.

A PDF manual for the plugin can be found at -> "Settings/Tool Preferences/Specific Tool Preferences/TAKSat Planner Preferences".

Unfortunately, whilst feedback is appreciated, we can give no guarantees that requested features will be implemented.
