Android Designer

General:

Our client acquired ATAK from the USG (US Government). The Android TAK (ATAK) application is a mission planning, geospatial, Full Motion Video (FMV), and system administrator tool that reduces the operational footprint from a tactical laptop to a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) mobile device or tablet. ATAK provides enhanced situational awareness and collaboration for tactical troops. ATAK runs on the Android OS, is self-contained, and can function either as a stand-alone application or as part of a system of interconnected devices that share data. The acquisition allows us to develop application plugins through an SDK. Our client lacks internal expertise around Android application development.
