ATAK over Meshtastic & MeshCore

Bridge ATAK to the radio you already carry.

LANCE attaches to ATAK as a native plugin and speaks to your Meshtastic or MeshCore device over Bluetooth or USB. CoT events flow out of ATAK, across the LoRa mesh, and back into ATAK on the other side — no server, no tower, no internet.

Native ATAK plugin integration
BLE & USB connection to Meshtastic and MeshCore radios
Automatic radio protocol detection
CoT translated for mesh transport
Channel & radio configuration awareness

Position & Marker Sharing

Keep the picture alive, off the grid.

Team positions (PLI) and tactical markers move through the mesh and rebuild as native ATAK objects on every connected client. Everyone sees the same picture — even with zero cellular coverage.
