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
