Feature Layer v0.17

Features in full

Built-in sources

• NIFC: the National Incident Feature Service, live. Sign in with your own NIFC ArcGIS login (MFA supported), find a fire, and its Event Points, Event Lines, Perimeter Lines, Event Polygons, IR Points and Polygons, Accountable Property and Label Points load with the NWCG PMS 936 symbology: the standard point icons, lettered hand/road/mixed/plow lines, dozer X chains, one-sided ticks on the uncontained edge, Repair Status halos on request.
• SARCOP Training: NAPSG's Search and Rescue Common Operating Platform sandbox, public, with NAPSG's own US&R symbology for waypoints, worksites, tracklogs, segments and divisions.
• CA Air Intel: statewide California fire perimeters from FIRIS, CAL FIRE intel flights, USFS, NIFC and WFIGS, public. Each source toggles on its own, a time window picks how far back to look, and only the latest perimeter per fire per source is drawn.
• New Fire Starts: NIFC's public view of new wildfires and prescribed fires, nationwide, for 24 hours after each is found or until it is contained. Wildfires, wildfires with no size reported yet, and prescribed fires toggle on their own; a time window of 1 to 24 hours, and the same distance-from-me or map-center control DART has.
• Ongoing Fires: NIFC's public view of current wildfires and prescribed fires not yet contained, from the day after each is found, so it and New Fire Starts never show one fire twice. Labeled with acres and percent contained; a fire with an InciWeb page opens it from its details.
• Fire History: where fires have burned since 1900, from NIFC's interagency fire perimeter history, drawn as EGP draws it: the last ten years colored by years since (under six months, to one, two, three and ten years), then each decade in a color of its own back to the 1980s and grey before, each band and decade switched on its own, labeled "Carr Fire (2018)". Search it by name and year, and keep the fires that matter to an incident as My Fires, shown alone until cleared.
• Add your own org: any ArcGIS Online organization. Sign in, search its content, add a layer; it draws with the service's own renderer.

Every layer: ON/OFF, per-type ON/OFF and fill, labels, zoom gate, automatic refresh with a per-layer interval, cached on the phone so it survives restarts and loss of signal. Search inside a layer by name, number or type, sorted by distance from you or from the map center, newest or oldest. Tap a feature for its attributes, a bloodhound, a range and bearing line, or a marker.

Equipment required

An Android device running ATAK-CIV 5.6, 5.7 or 5.8 with a network connection to load or refresh layers. Cached layers draw without one.

Works with

Any device ATAK-CIV supports. Exercised on a Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro.

Network and security

Outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) only; nothing inbound.

• The organization's ArcGIS portal (for example nifc.maps.arcgis.com, or the org you add) for OAuth 2.0 sign-in and content search.
• ArcGIS Online hosted feature services on services*.arcgis.com: NIFC (services3.arcgis.com), NAPSG SARCOP (services.arcgis.com), CA Air Intel (services1.arcgis.com), and whatever services your own org hosts.

Sign-in is OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE in an in-app browser; the plugin never sees a password. An organization's token is sent only to that organization's own servers, never in a URL.
