Sit(x)®: Situational Awareness

Booz Allen Sit(x)® provides situational awareness to ensure successful operations and intelligence gathering. See your teammates’ actions and communicate with them in real time. Use Sit(x) on its own or with the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) to chat with groups, push data to others, and see fellow operators on the move.

Explore TAK-Server-as-a-Service for Decision Advantage

As a technology-agnostic mobile solution, Sit(x) gives you the ability to connect Android (ATAK), Windows (WinTAK), web (Dashboard), and iOS (iTAK) users within the same operating environment. Create and manage groups within an organization, federate groups, or connect with other users—no matter the affiliation. It’s all easy with Sit(x).

Features

Bridge Adapters

Bridge adapters allow third-party systems to send and receive data to Sit(x) groups and allow Sit(x) integrators to develop microservices to inject an interoperability layer for TAK consumers. Organizations can create and manage their own bridge adapters. These have the same security requirements as regular connections but use a different authentication strategy that is better suited for enterprise environments.

Data Sync

Data Sync, a TAK plugin developed by our team, works with Sit(x). Users of WinTAK can leverage Data Sync to create, view, and update missions via the Data Sync tool. 

GvStreamer

Now you can livestream unmanned aerial system (UAS) video, device video, and stationary camera video securely and simply. Users can configure access to video sources within the Sit(x) web user interface. 


Is Sit(x) available for use only in the United States?

No, Sit(x) is a fully exportable solution that can be used anywhere. It is currently in operation on every continent.

Is Sit(x) secure?

Yes, Sit(x) offers end-to-end secure connections, including two-factor authentication. You can even disable single or multiple devices remotely if needed.

What does it mean to federate a Sit(x) group?

Federating Sit(x) groups simply means joining different Sit(x) groups so they can share TAK data, such as the movement of active TAK users, map markers, drawings, routes, or even photos. Federation of groups can be done within or between two or more organizations. You can also set the duration you want the federation to last. This could span a single unique event or could be set up for long periods of time.

Does Sit(x) require technical skills?

No. The user interface is very simple. Sit(x) was designed to be used by anyone. Setting up an account, creating new Sit(x) groups, and sending federation requests are easy and only take a few minutes. There are no special skills required.

Can I incorporate full-motion video?

Yes, you can pair Sit(x) with our GvStreamer engine to process and distribute full-motion video to all your connected TAK users for a flat fee per organization. This service has been tested at 10 concurrent upstream videos distributed to 100 concurrent users at TAK’s native 3Mb/s streaming rate with no issues.
