moos-tak

moos-tak is a Python application that subscribes to MOOS NODE_REPORT messages and publishes their names and locations via Cursor on Target (CoT) to an ATAK network of your choice. It utilizes Docker for easy deployment and environment consistency.

Features

• MOOS Integration: Subscribes to NODE_REPORT messages from MOOS.
• CoT Publication: Publishes location data to an ATAK network.
• Friend/Foe Identification: Differentiates based on naming conventions in CoT messages.

Installation

To set up moos-tak, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository or download the source code.
2. Navigate to the moos-tak directory, containing the Dockerfile.

Building the Docker Container

Build the Docker container with the following command in the moos-tak directory:

sudo docker build -t moos-tak .

Using the Software

moos-tak subscribes to MOOSDB NODE_REPORT messages and sends CoT messages as friendly or hostile based on the agents name (i.e. if the name starts with 'blue' or 'red'). If the agents do not have a name starting with blue or red they will be identified as a neutral CoT message.

Default IP address is tcp://137.184.101.150:8087
