Maps that still readwhen the link drops
Honey Badger Tactical designs and delivers tactical software for Korean terrain: field apps, command tools, servers and maps.

Field users need a correct grid, a map that stays up without a signal, and a report sent within thirty seconds. We test the software against each of these.
Honey Badger App
the Honey Badger App
An independently developed situational awareness app for Android. It uses the CoT format, so it can interoperate with ATAK, WinTAK and iTAK users on the same TAK server. We have tested server integration with ATAK-format messages.
- Offline maps and terrain of the Korean peninsula (hillshade, contours, elevation)
- MGRS, Korean national grid and UTM-K; mils (6400); magnetic, grid and true north
- Team positions, team chat, emergency alerts, radio silence
- Standard reports such as SALUTE and 9-line MEDEVAC, with position and DTG filled in
- Exercise control: zones, hits, respawns, captures, after-action replay
- unit tests run on every build

Products
Each product works on its own. When they share a server, maps and coordinates, the records from one incident appear on a single timeline.
Autonomy and unmanned
Drones that search and reconnoiter on their own, and their software
- SentinelA drone that searches an assigned area autonomously, without a pilot, and sends what it finds directly to the team picture.
- AutonomySentinel's autonomy software split into perception, planning and safety layers that other airframes can carry.
- Drone OpsPositions, tasks and detections from several drones on the same screen as the ground team.
- RelayHovers over a valley or disaster site with no coverage and relays the team's positions and messages.
Command
Web tools for commanders, referees and organizers on a large screen
- Incident BoardMoves incident command from whiteboards and radio notes onto one tablet screen, with every action time-stamped.
- Search PlannerSplit a search area on the Korean national grid, print assignment sheets per team, and collect progress and clues on one map.
- RangeRegistration, scenario design, live control and after-action review for an event, in one place.
Field apps
Tools for people in the field on phones and tablets
Data and integration
The server, maps and coordinates every product shares
- ServerA team server package installed in one step, with QR enrollment and immediate cut-off for lost devices.
- Map DepotOffline maps and terrain built from open data by region, then verified and served. Custom packs can include your own areas.
- Coords SDKKorean national grid, UTM-K and MGRS conversion for other systems, with the same engine as the app.

How delivery works
We start with a small field pilot, configure the system to your requirements and then support it in operation.
- 01
Requirements
Operating environment, number of users, security conditions and existing equipment.
- 02
Pilot setup
A small server and app setup tested in the field.
- 03
Custom work
Report forms, map coverage and managed settings adapted to your organization.
- 04
Support
Security patch tracking, map updates and incident support under the contract.
Looking for pilot partners
We are seeking airsoft and milsim teams, training organizations and public-sector field units to run pilots with us.
