A Cockpit web console plugin for
AISCOT, the AIS to TAK gateway. Track
ships and vessels via AIS (RTL-SDR + AIS-catcher, 161.975/162.025 MHz) and display
them in ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, and TAK Server as Cursor on Target — maritime domain
awareness for ports, waterways, search & rescue, and coastal operations. Service
control, /etc/default/aiscot configuration, TAK TLS certificates, and live status —
no SSH required.
Install the .deb from the GitHub Releases page, or make install compiles and installs the package in /usr/local/share/cockpit/.
Different sensor, same workflow — pick the gateway for your application; most have a matching Cockpit plugin for browser-based management:
| Application | Gateway | Cockpit plugin |
|---|---|---|
| Aircraft via ADS-B (1090 MHz / 978 MHz UAT) | adsbcot | cockpit-adsbcot |
| Ships & vessels via AIS | aiscot | cockpit-aiscot, cockpit-aiscatcher |
| Drone / UAS Remote ID (counter-UAS) | dronecot | cockpit-dronecot |
| Own position via GPS/GNSS | lincot | cockpit-lincot, cockpit-gps |
| Radio direction finding (KrakenSDR) | kraktak | — |
| APRS amateur radio | aprscot | — |
| Weather stations | windtak | — |
| CoT routing / TAK Server bridging | charontak | — |
All gateways are built on PyTAK, speak Cursor on Target (CoT) to ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, TAK Server, and Mesh SA, ship as signed Debian/RPM packages at snstac.github.io/packages, and come pre-installed on AryaOS, the situational-awareness OS for Raspberry Pi.
