goTenna TAK “Train-the-Trainer”

Enhanced TAK “Train-the-Trainer” Course

What It Is: The Enhanced “Train-The-Trainer” three day training course combines TAK 101 and Train the Trainer courses to prepare students to go back to their home agencies and provide basic TAK training to future end-users, in connected and disconnected environments. Focus areas include:

• Comprehensive iTAK or ATAK training, depending on home agency needs. Training includes deep dives on each iTAK/ATAK feature for mission planning and live operational use.
• Integrating goTenna mesh network technology to mitigate comms denied environments.
• Onboarding new end-users, building frequency sets, deploying encryption keys, managing current end users, and backhauling to a TAK server.
• Outdoor practical exercises, to include establishing a mesh network integrated with a TAK application to maintain situational awareness in a comms denied environment.

At the end of the course, end-users will be able to:

• Use TAK to plan and execute a real-world mission for a tactical team, in a connected or disconnected environment.
• Effectively use iTAK/ATAK in real-world environments.
