On this National Intern Day, we're celebrating our teammates that help push WearTAK into the field faster. From streamlining deployments to building internal software tools, our interns are making real contributions at Ascent. And most importantly they bring great vibes.

Only the team lead needs a map. The operators just need to feed it. Operators need the ability to drop points, send alerts, and share critical insights without slowing down or losing focus. Because in real operations, phones don’t scale.

Back in 2019, Samsung published a forward-looking article on how rugged smartwatches could transform operator safety, awareness, and response. That vision still holds and is now being delivered in the field with WearTAK. What stands out to you?.

WearTAK allows operators to drop points directly from their wrist using standard NATO Joint Military Symbology. These markers instantly appear on the TAK map without the need for phones or radios. Watch how simple it is to drop a point and sync with TAK.

The All Things TAK roundtable brought together experts to discuss tech in TAK. Watch the full discussion and learn how tech is being used to empower end users with effective, practical solutions within the TAK ecosystem. Full episode:
