This project processes Remote ID (RID) data from drones and sends it as Cursor on Target (CoT) messages to a TAK server. It integrates with the Sniffle tool to capture Bluetooth packets.

Prerequisites

Python 3.6 or later
Wireshark and TShark
mkfifo utility
sniff_receiver from the Sniffle repository

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Clone the RIDtoTAK Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/RIDtoTAK.git
cd RIDtoTAK

Step 2: Set Up FIFO for Drone PCAP

In a separate terminal window, create a FIFO for the drone PCAP:

mkfifo /tmp/drone_pcap

Step 3: Clone and Set Up Sniffle

In another terminal window, clone the Sniffle repository and run the sniff_receiver tool:

git clone https://github.com/nccgroup/Sniffle.git
cd Sniffle/python_cli
./sniff_receiver -l -e -o /tmp/drone_pcap

Step 4: Run RIDtoTAK

Back in the RIDtoTAK directory, run the RIDtoTAK script. Adjust the --tak-host, --tak-port, and --fifo-pcap-path parameters as needed: python3 RIDtoTAK.py --tak-host 0.0.0.0 --tak-port 8054 --update-interval 5 --fifo-pcap-path /tmp/drone_pcap

Parameters

--tak-host: TAK server hostname or IP address.
--tak-port: TAK server port.
--update-interval: Interval in seconds for CoT message updates.
--fifo-pcap-path: Path to the FIFO PCAP file.

Example Command

python3 RIDtoTAK.py --tak-host 192.168.1.100 --tak-port 8087 --update-interval 10 --fifo-pcap-path /tmp/drone_pcap
