ATAK (WinTAK) How To: Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance: A Primer 

>No battle staff to help you You mean I'll be unincumbered by the numerous mandatory power point presentations that the fusion cell wants?

Instructions unclear - no 5 hr powerpoint, no overly generic class safety brief and no comd visit at the end of brief to hammer home the commanders messaging regards covid and extremist groups.

This would be good for planning an elk hunt; viewsheds, road routes and terrain.

Ever since listening to your podcasts and watching some of these videos I've been mapping my neighborhood in atak expanding all the way out to the city around my neighborhood. Call it a paranoid exercise of terrain analysis lol

Wait a minute, so I won't be slapped in the face with a 4.5 hour PowerPoint prior to op? Oh how unfortunate! All jokes aside, this is probably one of the best ATAK tutorials out there right now. Really basic but covers the things you need to know in order to quickly start using ATAK. As a last resort you could show this video to a bunch of people, give them EUDs with ATAK and imagery installed and send them a data package of the mission

Great content, Destin. They didn't have anything like this back in '81. At least not that they showed us... 🛡

"Operation Bikini bottom". Lol Thank you this is cool. Being a old grunt from the 90's, this stuff fascinates me. Thank you S2.

More on this please, loved the QGIS I am already making maps

Just incredible. But as you mentioned really need a team to help plan, especially if you need changes mid op. Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sorry, as much as I love backpacking, I'm getting old and my feet are necrotic, but I happen to have a jacked-up 1984 Toyota 4x4 with extreme low-range gearing, so I'll just drive to the OP, deploy the telescoping camera mast with a Nicon Coolpix P1000 on top, and start taking notes. Thanks for the WinTak tutorial though. I love tech.

This was kind of crazy to watch, I grew up there, Montrose CO is a great place. Flew in and out of that airport a lot.

I appreciate the hell out of this channels and its content.

Wow this just shows you how easy it is for the government to plan a hit

GREAT VIDEO 👍🏾 very educational. Thank you so much for providing it. Question: What are all there acronyms you are using? Maybe I’m the only civilian that is subscribed that speaks civilian English and isn’t fluent in military. However, if I’m not the only one, could you consider stating what the words are in the acronym? Please.

Great channel man! I'm really interested by atak /winter but I can't find a way to load EU maps,can you make a video where you show how to download and install EU maps? 🤔

U said wintac is not as Gucci as atak. Ur my new favorite person lol. Love the vids btw

I've learned so much about atak from these videos!! My main question is, if I use Wintak to create the mission, how do I get all of my routes, points, etc into my atak device?

I have a question, since I'm from Europe and I can't "legally" have this software and check it myself, so maybe you can help clarify. As this is a civilian version of the software, and trust given on civ is generally low, is this software sneakily or openly logs everything you do and send it to the data centre?

If you haven't already take a look at some of the android TV boxes. You can get a lot of capability for a very decent price.

The Viewshed only considers the ground elevations, like a topo map? I noticed that your OP position below the ridge had a large number of trees of unknown height. Even if they were mesquite trees six to nine feet high, seeing through them down to the target would not be feasible.

So, when I use the marker tool in the "viewshed" it gives me "No DTED data..." message. What am I doing wrong?

You mentioned "send it to them instantly". How would you suggest sending live map updates to other team members, especially in an environment with all signals monitored?

Oh look... a man made pond. Very cool intro footage.

@S2 Underground i know im late to the party here but i am a atak user that is not tech savy. i just ran across pytak and was wondering if you had ever used it and what you thoughts are about using to bridge the gap between a fts connected to the net with radio using the aprscot?

Thanks for this! Very in depth and informative

I find the boring stuff interesting THX for what you are doing!

Running a delta green campaign rn, this will help out tremendously

What map source do you use? I cannot figure out how to get a 3D map of my area for this.

Love your channel

it would be really good to hear your thoughts with regard to radio and associated topics. has your channel addressed such? if so, please aim it over here!

GEM ALERT GEM ALERT

IMPECABLE EL VIDEO.TE FELICITO HERMANO.

That could be useful for planning my new property 1000 miles away. A hillside piece and rudimentary access.

Great stuff guys. Thanks.👍

Super informative! Tyty!

Wouldn't you set the height above op marker to 1 ft? Assuming you're observing in the prone?

Do you have any interest in making an atak+radio video? Set up and function examples.

where can I get this sort of theoretical KMZ file?

super cool, thank you

Montrose Regional. With long runways and mountains overlooking it.

Guys! This is so cool. I’m going to check out my area.

You are correct. Plugins are harder to get than black powder. I'll I'm gonna say is we aren't going out like Australia. Here's my ----------------------------------------------------

Where did you download your 3D mapsource?

Outstanding thank you very much

@s2underground Question about a couple of things. Now if i download the maps on a laptop(for ease of use with mouse) and create a mission like you just did on a computer, how do i send that to my phone that obviously has ATAK installed. Also when you do send the mission over, does that then download the map imagery to the phone since you downloaded it on your laptop. Or would I also have to download it onto my phone(that has atak installed). also if you wanted to say create a mission and then go do it, how would someone monitor the mission in real time? i know they would need atak installed on some sort of device but does that get sent thru the internet or is there another way of going about it with radios then send data packages. when the internet is down. Im asking beacuase id like to be able to create a mission of a hike and then have a family member monitor my progress throughout the hike(during a non SHTF scenario) AND have the capability of doing the same hing BUT in a SHTF scenario assuming the internet doesnt work. Sorry for the tons of questions. I used ATAK in the military but only was exposed to it for about a year and our combat controller or jtac would handle it usually.

OH BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! BRAV-0 This is going to make things MUCH easier for me in the near future...once I get this software figured out :) Thanks for the primmer on ATAK

Good video tysm

is this dependent upon infastructure?(internet)

How can I add Google Maps to my Maps & Favorites? I see I can add an online source but with an WMS or WMTS adress? Where can I find that?

why did you choose Delta/Montrose/black canyon of the gunnison for this example?

Fucking GOLD for the civilians

I got a question. If I add 3d objects from telegametry Viewshed view changes?

Phase line are used with Geofences?

There was mention that wintak is the worst. So which is the best, most supported? Anything that supports mesh networks? Know of any good hardware for this?

I've heard you should cross terrain and not follow terrain while avoiding being silhouetted. Is this correct or not?

Montrose, nice.

Dont work with Win 10. ATAC page has many comments regarding this. it will work on older computers

Civilian world. Why not get a job at the Airfield? Or set up a business there. Sell coffee, sandwiches and cookies.

Meshtastic no cell towers.

A year from now Destin you won't have to worry about having a radio. The only thing you'll need is a Tesla satellite phone. Elon is already working on it. I mean he's gonna have 14,000 satellites in Leo, so designing a phone to use the same network as his little dishes, piece of cake. 😎🤓

Great video, any idea on how to send heading and distance info to a garmin tactix watch?

Hey, I need help with downloading maps, no matter what I do, the maps will not download and the download times shown do not reflect my internet connection speed. I know I'm doing something wrong but I have no idea what. I had no issues downloading portions of map on my phone. could you help me out? thanks!

I wouldn't trust viewshed it's always so off unless you're picking obvious high features however using it to tactically plot areas of dead ground it is useless and thinks you have xray vision

Blue route seems like it leaves you too exposed to the road

Just for shits and giggles, drop a C-5 in there next to that C-130. Of course, a C5 isn't sneaking up on anybody. LOL

Possible file download site for ATAC to work

"Reconnaissance in force"....

This seems like it would be a useful tool for Shock Force 2. Does anyone know if the game maps could be imported?

Call me paranoid but who wrote this program? The government?

So, I'm guessing gangstalkers use this along with R.I.S.S.

Why is it not working

You've got 10 million subscribers and you're worried about the cost of ATAK, Destin?

Handy.

It's pretty slow for a laptop, can you even run it on a smartphone?

Can other country civilian use ATAK civilian model????

So what would yall use this for? I'm a little confused.

Any S3 and S4 channel to follow Edit: I mean subscribe

And for they to spy on you
