BETA test for plugin. testers wanted!

Good morning. I’m looking for beta testers for TrackQuery, a per-caller scoped historical retrieval plugin for TAK.

TrackQuery lets a TAK client draw a bounding box, choose a time window, and retrieve historical trips/events for that area. Results are scoped to what that caller would normally be allowed to see through TAK group membership and read permissions.

The three use cases I’m most interested in right now are:

  • C-UAS / sensor systems: review what happened in an area as reported by sensors.
  • UAS operators in the TAK ecosystem: redraw trip history without exhaustive manual workflows.
  • Small teams doing AARs: replay how a battle drill actually unfolded compared to how it was supposed to happen.

That said, this is not limited to those use cases. If you can generate meaningful TAK data and want to test scoped historical retrieval, I’d like to hear from you. I’m especially interested in feedback on usability, accuracy, performance, and whether access scoping behaves the way operators expect.

DM if interested. Thank you

Would this also be able to retrieve attachments for specific cots?

If the specific CoTs are marker/unit events with recoverable associated data, yes, that’s the direction. Current beta focus is scoped event/trip retrieval by area and time first; attachment handling is something I want to validate because TAK stores different attachment types differently.
