Phase 5.1: TAK Server Research - Summary

OpenTAKServer (OTS) selected as optimal TAK-compatible solution with web interface, COT protocol support, geospatial mapping, and Docker deployment capabilities

Performance

  • Duration: 10 min
  • Started: 2026-01-01T23:05:51Z
  • Completed: 2026-01-01T23:15:51Z
  • Tasks: 1 (research and evaluation)
  • Files modified: 1 (research report)

Accomplishments

  • Conducted comprehensive web research using DuckDuckGo
  • Identified and evaluated three TAK-compatible open-source implementations
  • Created detailed comparison matrix of FreeTAKServer, OpenTAKServer, and TAK Product Center Server
  • Selected OpenTAKServer as optimal solution based on feature completeness and deployment requirements
  • Documented research findings, selection rationale, and implementation plan

Files Created/Modified

  • .planning/phases/05-tak-research/05-01-RESEARCH.md - Comprehensive research report with comparison matrix and recommendation

Decisions Made

  • Selected OpenTAKServer (OTS) as primary implementation
  • Rationale: Most feature-rich with web UI, video streaming, advanced authentication, and easy Docker deployment
  • Alternative considered: FreeTAKServer (strong runner-up with excellent community support)
  • Rejected: TAK Product Center Server (lacks web interface, complex deployment, DoD-focused)

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written

Issues Encountered

None

Next Phase Readiness

  • Research complete and documented
  • OpenTAKServer selected as optimal solution
  • Ready to proceed to Phase 6 implementation
  • All requirements met: open-source, web interface, COT protocol, geospatial mapping, Docker support
