TAK Server Part #2

Last month, we rolled up our sleeves and stood up a TAK Server on a Raspberry Pi. This month, we’re taking the next critical step: getting data into it.

In this session, we’ll walk through multiple practical ways to send (drone or CAD) data to a TAK Server and verify that it shows up correctly in TAK clients.

We’ll cover:

• Exposing a TAK Server to the internet
  How to make your TAK Server accessible remotely so data and clients can connect from outside the local network.
• Sending data to a TAK Server using pytak
  Generating and transmitting Cursor-on-Target (CoT) messages from Python.
• Integrating TAK with Node-RED
  Using Node-RED to send CoT data, enabling low-code integrations with sensors, APIs, and automation workflows.

This meetup is ideal for anyone working with TAK, drones, sensors, automation, or situational awareness systems, and for those looking to move beyond server setup and into live data flows.
