SHIELD/ATLAS — Hosted TAK Server Demo Surface

Browser-rendered equivalent of a TAK Server CIV dashboard. Connected ATAK / iTAK / WinTAK clients, rolling CoT XML stream, live SVG map with ATLAS-emitted blue-force tracks. Use this for sales calls and transition reviews when you need to show "what the other end of the CoT bus looks like" without screen-sharing a Linux box. Wire format below is identical to what a real TAK Server CIV instance produces — the install path for that is documented at /demo-stack.

This is a demo visualization, not a live CoT broker. The fixture data renders the dashboard ATLAS would target; the /atak-plugin memo and /demo-stack recipe document the live integration. Use this page when the goal is to communicate the shape of the integration without infrastructure friction.

Cursor-on-Target message stream (live wire format)

Below is the most recent CoT v2.0 XML message that ATLAS emitted into this server. Identical to what a deployed FreeTAKServer or TAK Server CIV instance would log. Format reference: cot:type uses MIL-STD-2525-style affiliation/dimension codes; detail carries optional plugin-specific extensions.

Wire format — sample CoT XML

Every track on the map above serializes to a CoT XML message identical to what TAK Server CIV publishes to its connected ATAK / iTAK / WinTAK clients. ATLAS emits this exact shape over TCP/8087 (or TLS/8089). Below is the friendly-blue track ATLAS-BEACON-001 rendered to wire format — copy-paste into a CoT validator to verify.

Validation path. Save this XML as track.cot, then: nc localhost 8087 < track.cot against a TAK Server CIV instance — the track appears immediately in any connected ATAK client. Same wire path ATLAS uses, no glue code in between.
