Military Freefall operations using goTenna Pro X + ATAK

This video shows a military freefall training operation as viewed through the TAK server, which simulates a tactical operations center observing soldiers in a field environment.
The Drop Zone Safety Officer (DZSO) has ATAK running with a TAK server connection via cellular data and a goTenna for local Radio Frequency (RF) backhaul of teammates to the TAK server. All other participants are only using goTenna-enabled devices to communicate to the DZSO, which is relayed through the TAK server connection.
The combination of the TAK server and goTenna-enabled devices ensures reliable “force protection” measures are in place for responding to any medical emergency by providing updated location/personnel tracking and enabling a reduction in time from injury to initial care. This enhanced situational awareness provides reliable blue-force tracking during the most critical phases of any operation.
goTenna has demonstrated the ability to track upwards of 50 miles away from a ground station. This means that Jump Masters and aircraft crew have positive communications with the drop zone without the signal profile of conventional voice communications. This results in positive identification of friendly aircraft and having near real-time Drop Zone information for the jumpers, all while maintaining the lowest possible radio frequency profile. Additionally, if a wayward jumper lands off the DZ, they can be easily tracked for recovery.
