AISCOT provides critical maritime domain awareness by streaming real-time vessel tracking data directly into Team Awareness Kit (TAK) platforms. This solution enables public safety professionals to monitor maritime activities with comprehensive situational awareness through native TAK integration.
- Real-time Maritime Tracking: Continuous AIS data capture and reporting for immediate threat assessment
- Native TAK Integration: Seamless compatibility with ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, TAK Server & TAKX using Cursor on Target (CoT) protocols
- Multi-source Data Fusion: Support for RF AIS transmissions, local NMEA feeds, and Internet-based AIS aggregators
- Comprehensive Vessel Intelligence: Display vessel icons, attitude, type, track history, bearing, speed, callsign, and maritime identifiers
- Government Data Access: Integration with US Department of Transportation SeaVision for enhanced coverage
- Port Security: Monitor vessel approaches and harbor activities
- Border Protection: Track maritime border crossings and suspicious activities
- Search & Rescue: Coordinate response efforts with real-time vessel positions
- Intelligence Operations: Analyze maritime patterns and vessel behaviors

Different sensor, same workflow — pick the gateway for your application; most have a matching Cockpit plugin for browser-based management:
| Application | Gateway | Cockpit plugin |
|---|---|---|
| Aircraft via ADS-B (1090 MHz / 978 MHz UAT) | adsbcot | cockpit-adsbcot |
| Ships & vessels via AIS | aiscot | cockpit-aiscot, cockpit-aiscatcher |
| Drone / UAS Remote ID (counter-UAS) | dronecot | cockpit-dronecot |
| Own position via GPS/GNSS | lincot | cockpit-lincot, cockpit-gps |
| Radio direction finding (KrakenSDR) | kraktak | — |
| APRS amateur radio | aprscot | — |
| Weather stations | windtak | — |
| CoT routing / TAK Server bridging | charontak | — |
All gateways are built on PyTAK, speak Cursor on Target (CoT) to ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, TAK Server, and Mesh SA, ship as signed Debian/RPM packages at snstac.github.io/packages, and come pre-installed on AryaOS, the situational-awareness OS for Raspberry Pi.
