AryaOS - The Operating System for Modern Situational Awareness¶
AryaOS is a Linux-based operating system with a suite of situational awareness tools pre-installed.
Features of AryaOS:
- Includes decoders and gateways for AIS, ADS-B & Drone Remote ID.
- Works with all TAK Products, including ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, TAKX & TAK Server.
- Facilitates rapid test & evaluation of edge node sensors.
- Browser based low-code development tool for visual programming & open API.
- Runs on inexpensive COTS & low SWaP-C small board computers, including the Raspberry Pi.
- Compatible with Intel & Arm (amd64 & arm64) architectures.
AryaOS Software Suite¶
AryaOS ships with the full Sensors & Signals open-source suite of Team Awareness Kit (TAK) gateways and Cursor on Target (CoT) tools:
| Project | What it does |
|---|---|
| PyTAK — Python Team Awareness Kit (TAK) library | Python framework for building TAK & Cursor on Target (CoT) integrations. (PyTAK documentation) |
| ADSBCOT — ADS-B to TAK gateway | Displays live aircraft from ADS-B receivers in ATAK, WinTAK & iTAK. (ADSBCOT documentation) |
| AISCOT — AIS to TAK gateway | Displays ships & maritime vessel traffic from AIS in TAK. (AISCOT documentation) |
| DroneCOT — Drone Remote ID to TAK gateway | Detects & tracks drones (Remote ID / Open Drone ID) in TAK for counter-UAS awareness. |
| AIRCOT — aircraft classification for TAK | Classifies aircraft into TAK/CoT types from ADS-B & Mode S data. (AIRCOT documentation) |
| DJICOT — DJI drone detection for TAK | Detects & tracks DJI drones (DroneID) in TAK. (DJICOT documentation) |
| GPSTAK — network GPS for TAK | Streams gpsd position data to TAK as CoT, with NMEA fan-out for WinTAK. |
| LINCOT — Linux GPS to TAK gateway | Sends Linux device position (GPS) to TAK. |
| APRSCOT — APRS to TAK gateway | Displays amateur radio APRS stations in TAK. (APRSCOT documentation) |
| INRCOT — Garmin inReach to TAK gateway | Displays Garmin inReach satellite tracker positions in TAK. |
| SiKW00FCOT — MAVLink drone telemetry to TAK | Converts SiK-radio MAVLink drone telemetry to Cursor on Target. |
| CharonTAK — Cursor on Target ferryman | Bridges & relays CoT between networks and TAK servers. |
| QRTAK — TAK onboarding with QR codes | Onboard devices to TAK Server by scanning a QR code. |
Every gateway on AryaOS is managed from a touch-friendly browser UI built on Cockpit, including cockpit-aryaos, cockpit-adsbcot, cockpit-aiscot, cockpit-dronecot, cockpit-gpstak & cockpit-lincot.
