ATAK: SniperTAK Plugin

SniperTAK is a plugin for ATAK-CIV. It turns rifle and ammunition data, the current atmospheric conditions and a target picked on the map into a firing solution, without leaving the map.

The plugin adds its own panel to ATAK. It works offline and opens no network connections of its own.

FIRING SOLUTION

- Tap the map to set a target; distance and azimuth fill in on their own

- Shot angle from the height difference between shooter and target on the map, or from the Vortex rangefinder, enters the firing solution. You can turn it off in settings

- Elevation and windage in mils, recalculated after every change

- Reticle ranging: distance from the target size and the reticle reading, with the reading error range

- Detailed ballistics: maximum ordinate, first and second zero, transonic and subsonic transition, total drop, velocity and energy at the target

- Solutions up to 2000 m

OBSERVATION POST

- Calculate from your own position or from a separate observation post

- Target table with elevation, windage, azimuth, distance, height and hit probability

- Range card with the MGRS of every point and a file preview before export

- Bullet path drawn on the map from the shooter to every target, with the rise visible once you tilt the map

BALLISTIC TABLES

- 100 to 2000 m in 100 m steps: elevation, windage, drop, time of flight, hit probability

- Tables are calculated flat, without the shot angle

RIFLE AND AMMUNITION

- Profiles holding zero distance, scope height, muzzle velocity, bullet weight, ballistic coefficient with drag model, twist rate and direction

- G1 and G7 drag models. G7 takes drag from a table that depends on bullet velocity. G1 above a ballistic coefficient of 0.55 also uses a table, which brings .338 and .50 results closer to the manufacturer's cards

- Changing a profile or a single parameter recalculates every result

CONDITIONS

- Wind speed and direction, temperature, pressure, humidity, density altitude

- Wind HUD on the map showing the wind relative to the line of fire. You set it with a gesture, move it to another part of the screen or hide it

- Readings from a Kestrel 5700 weather meter over Bluetooth, copied into the form once or continuously. The Kestrel wind direction is shown for reference only and does not change the solution

- Distance measured with a Vortex Impact 4000 rangefinder over Bluetooth, as a single measurement or a batch that becomes targets

TOOLS

- WEZ: hit probability computed from your input uncertainties, split into horizontal and vertical spread, naming the largest contributor. Target presets for head, torso, silhouette, vehicle, and custom dimensions

- Barricade: whether the bullet clears an opening, with the vertical and horizontal margin in centimetres

- Speed drop: one dial-in setting after which holding D/100 mil hits the target, with the distance range where the rule stays inside your tolerance

- MPBR: the longest distance at which the bullet stays inside a hit zone of a given height without changing the setting, with the zero you need to set

- Reticle: the solution shown as a hold point on a picture of the scope reticle, with wind hold points for 2, 4, 6 and 8 in the unit from settings
