This series of videos contains instructions for use of the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK). ATAK can help your team establish a common set of operational coordination terms, share information in the field more efficiently, and improve situational awareness. This video shows how to draw rectangles or telestrate (use an electronic pen to draw a freehand sketch over a video image) by using the Drawing Tools icon. To draw rectangles, you will select location and use the Radial Menu. You can edit fields, use labels, select a tactical overlay and adjust size and orientation. The video also contains instructions to rotate and view an object in 3D. (DHS Video by Science & Technology Directorate/Released)
