🛰️ ATAK / iTAK Integration — Turning Horses Into Networked Tactical Platforms

Updated: 5 days ago

ORVIWO ATAK Mounted Operations — Tactical U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer on horseback using smart sensors, rugged comms, and situational awareness tools for real-time field intelligence.
ATAK Mounted Ops — Powered by ORVIWO.  Mounted units now ride with real-time intelligence: live mapping, sensor fusion, rugged comms, and mission-critical awareness — all from the saddle. From Puerto Rico to the U.S. border, ORVIWO is engineering the future of mounted tactical deployments. 🐎📡🛰️

In modern border operations, awareness is everything.

Mounted units have always offered unmatched mobility across desert, brush, mountains, and remote zones where vehicles fail — but mobility without intelligence is no longer enough.


This is where ATAK/iTAK becomes a force multiplier.


The Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) and its civilian counterpart iTAK transform ORVIWO’s equine-mounted officers into fully connected field operators, capable of seeing, sharing, and acting on live intelligence in real time.


By integrating ATAK-ready edge devices, IoT sensors, LoRaWAN telemetry, rugged routers, and encrypted comms directly into the saddle system, ORVIWO enables a new category of mounted operations:


📡 Connected. Mapped. Aware. Networked.


Just like mounted scouts of the past carried binoculars, maps, and radios, today’s ORVIWO Tactical Cowboy carries:


  • Live GPS positioning through XR60/XR80 routers

  • Secure PTT and broadband using FirstNet, Band 14 & SES networks

  • LoRaWAN powering equine health, hydration, and fatigue monitoring

  • ATAK plugins displaying terrain, threats, heat signatures, and alerts

  • Helmet or chest-mounted body cameras streaming to CBP command

  • Bluetooth heart-rate straps on the horse and rider

  • Rugged tablets or Getac V110 units integrated into the saddle


Together, this transforms a horse into a mobile sensor platform, and the rider into a networked edge operator.


🗺️ How ATAK Enhances Mounted Border Operations


Mounted CBP units already excel in:


✔ Navigating terrain vehicles cannot enter

✔ Tracking signs, footprints, and trails

✔ Rapidly covering brush, canyons, and open plains

✔ Quiet, stealthy approach capabilities


With ORVIWO + ATAK, these capabilities expand dramatically.



1. Live Geofence Alerts & Smart Wall Integration


Mounted officers can receive warnings directly in ATAK when:

  • A breach occurs on a nearby border segment

  • A sensor tower detects movement

  • Drones or fixed-wing aircraft spot heat signatures

  • A smart-wall camera identifies suspicious activity


The system plots it instantly on the map — even off-grid.



2. Real-Time Blue Force Tracking


Each horse-mounted officer becomes a visible unit on the command map, with:


  • Speed

  • Direction

  • Status

  • Connectivity

  • Health telemetry (optional)


Coordinating a cavalry-style wide perimeter sweep becomes as easy as moving icons on a digital map.



3. Integrated Radios + PTT via XR60/XR80


Motorola Solutions radios, Getac devices, and AirLink routers all feed into ATAK:


  • Encrypted VoIP

  • Mission channels

  • Interoperability with DHS, CBP, and local agencies

  • Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PTToC)


Mounted units stay connected even deep within rugged terrain.



4. Environmental + Equine Condition Monitoring


ORVIWO’s equine IoT suite feeds health data into ATAK overlays:


  • Body temperature

  • Hydration levels

  • Respiration

  • Stress indicators

  • Hoof fatigue patterns


This prevents injuries and enhances operational endurance.



5. Tactical Situational Awareness for Night Operations


ATAK integrates with:


  • Thermal scopes

  • FLIR imagery from drones

  • Night-vision body cameras

  • Perimeter IR trip sensors

  • Smart binocular overlays


Perfect for mounted patrols tracking movement in low-light environments.

🛡️ The First-Ever “Mounted Digital Overwatch” Platform


Mounted units are traditionally seen as:


  • Close-range trackers

  • Terrain navigators

  • Mobility scouts


But with ORVIWO’s ATAK ecosystem, they evolve into:


Live intel relays

Off-grid mesh assets

Mobile command nodes

Biomedical monitoring platforms

Smart wall extensions

Tactical overwatch units


This is a 21st century cavalry, built on a foundation of technology, mobility, and American innovation.



Born From Puerto Rico — Engineered for Federal Missions

ORVIWO’s origins in Puerto Rico give this initiative a deeper resonance.

Puerto Rico’s own complex terrain — mountains, valleys, dense brush, coastlines — mirrors the challenges along the U.S.–Mexico border.


This makes it the perfect birthplace for a smart-mounted program designed for DHS, CBP, DoD, and federal partners.


From the Caribbean to the Southwest, from the jungles of Puerto Rico to the open plains of Texas, ORVIWO’s mission remains the same:


Enhance safety.

Enhance awareness.

Enhance the operator.


A mounted officer equipped with ATAK becomes more than a rider —they become a node in a nationwide network of protection.



🏇 The Future of Mounted Operations Has Arrived


ORVIWO’s Tactical Equine System + ATAK isn’t a concept.

It’s a deployable, scalable, modular platform ready for:


  • U.S. Customs and Border Protection

  • DHS S&T Pilot Programs

  • DoD Mounted Recon Units

  • U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division Innovation Initiatives

  • National Parks Mounted Patrol

  • State Police Mounted Units

  • Search & Rescue Operations

  • Tribal Rangers and Wildlife Anti-Poaching Teams


The mounted patrol is not outdated.

It is evolving — with ORVIWO leading the charge.


🇵🇷 Born From Puerto Rico. Built For America.
