One of my favorite things to do as a Computer Dudes Engineer is working on projects with groups from all over the world.

In the past few year a Software for Portible Phones and computers named: Android Team Awareness Kit, ATAK.

One of the groups we work with is out of Northern Europe and they have enhanced to portability, communications, extended maps which can be accessed where there is no phone or network communications.

This group has done the most work, and we contributed advice on using Shielded Wire and low DC voltages for safe secure communications.

The group is called Resilience Theater. Below are some links to their work including a how to "Wiki."

First find and follow Resilience Theater on LinkedIn -  as the group posts fresh updates - as well as adding new followers daily.

Here is their Wiki which gives instruction on the systems, sensors, and advanced options for any TAK system.

Start Here with the project overview and systems created to enhance ATAK systems    https://resilience-theatre.com/wiki/

Some of the most interesting and useful functions are: "Edgemap," which is a map database on a chip or single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5. Those computers use 5 Volts DC and cannot be detected, especially if you use Shielded CAT 5 or 6 Cables.

Resilience Theater also created an encrypted Push To Talk, PTT, system.

Here is their link to Edgemap. https://resilience-theatre.com/edgemap/

In North Florida these systems are used by Forest Ranger, Forest Fire Fighters, People with Off Road vehicles and even people on vacation to they do not get lost.

We would like to say "Well Done" and "Keep up the good work!" to all those working at Resilience Theater, as well as the many who contribute knowledge and share net techniques. Thank you for doing such nice work.
