Available Applications
Overview
During Manual CAC Registration, you're asked to check off which applications you need access to. This module explains what each checkbox grants and what happens after you select it.
Applications
| App | What it is |
|---|---|
| Compass | Vidterra Compass — full-motion video (FMV) software for viewing and managing live video feeds. |
| Filecloud | Secure file sharing and storage platform. |
| Lattice | Anduril Lattice — Anduril's AI-powered sensor-fusion and command-and-control platform. It ingests data from multiple sensor types (radar, cameras, drones, and other feeds) into a single shared operating picture, giving operators real-time situational awareness and the ability to task autonomous systems from one interface. |
| Rocketchat | Rocket.Chat — self-hosted, secure team chat (an open-source alternative to Slack/Mattermost). |
| Rune | Rune Technologies — a military logistics platform (TyrOS) for tactical and operational sustainment planning. It helps units track supplies, equipment, and resupply requirements to stay logistically ready in the field. |
| Somewear | Somewear Labs satellite GPS tracker/communicator — off-grid location tracking and messaging. See the Somewear modules for setup. |
| TAK | Team Awareness Kit — situational awareness and mapping software suite (WinTAK/ATAK/iTAK clients). See the TAK modules. |
| Watchtower | Device provisioning and fleet management (MDM) platform, managed by your Apex Edge administrator. |
Prerequisites
Be partway through the Manual CAC Registration form — this section covers the Application Request checkboxes on that page.
Steps
- On the New User Registration - CAC Manual form, review the Application Request checkboxes:
- Compass
- Filecloud
- Lattice
- Rocketchat
- Rune
- Somewear
- TAK
- Watchtower
- Check every application you need — you can select more than one.
- If you check TAK, three additional fields appear:
- Callsign — your operational callsign
- TAK Team Color — dropdown, defaults to unselected
- TAK Role — dropdown, defaults to unselected
- Continue with the rest of the registration form (back to Manual CAC Registration).
- Selected apps are provisioned once an administrator approves the account — see Requesting an App After Enrollment if you need to add one later instead of waiting.

Troubleshooting
- Forgot to check an app during registration: no need to re-register — see Requesting an App After Enrollment.
- TAK fields don't appear: make sure the TAK checkbox itself is checked first; the Callsign/Team Color/Role fields only show up conditionally.
