The ``aprscot`` "APRS to Cursor On Target (COT) Gateway" transforms APRS
Frames into COT Position Location Information (PLI) Points, compatible with
Situational Awareness (SA) and Common Operating Picture (COP) applications
such as Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), WinTAK, RaptorX, COPERS, et al.
The ``aprscot`` "APRS to Cursor On Target (COT) Gateway" provides beyond
line-of-sight blue force tracking capabilities using commercial off the shelf
components. This gateway uses the Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS)
and APRS-IS network to forward APRS position reports to Cursor On Target (COT)
clients such as the Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK), WinTAK, et al. Other
situational awareness & common operating picture platforms are supported
through use of COT, such as TAKX & COPERS.

APRS Frames can also be transformed or callsigns normalized before forwarding
as COT. Almost any network destination is available, including TCP & UDP
Mulitcast.
