Real-time ADS-B aircraft tracking, threat scoring, drone detection, and airspace analysis. Making airspace intelligence accessible to everyone.
AeroScope is a comprehensive, real-time flight tracking and airspace surveillance platform. We aggregate ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data from community receiver networks worldwide, enrich it through our proprietary 15-stage analysis pipeline, and deliver actionable airspace intelligence through an intuitive web dashboard.
Our platform monitors over 100 aircraft simultaneously with a 12-second refresh cycle, providing aviation enthusiasts, researchers, and security professionals with the tools they need to understand what is happening in the skies above them.
We believe airspace intelligence should be accessible. The skies above us are filled with thousands of aircraft at any given moment, and understanding that activity has traditionally been limited to air traffic controllers and military operators. AeroScope changes that.
Our mission is to provide researchers, aviation enthusiasts, security professionals, and journalists with powerful tools for understanding airspace activity, aircraft behavior, and aerial surveillance patterns. Whether you are conducting academic research on flight patterns, monitoring drone activity near critical infrastructure, or simply tracking the planes flying overhead, AeroScope delivers the intelligence you need.
AeroScope is built on ADS-B technology, the international standard for aircraft surveillance operating on 1090 MHz. Modern aircraft continuously broadcast their identification, position, altitude, and velocity via ADS-B transponders, and our platform captures this publicly available data through a global network of community receivers.
We aggregate data from multiple community ADS-B networks including adsb.fi, adsb.lol, and OpenSky, ensuring comprehensive coverage and data redundancy across global regions.
Every data point passes through our 15-stage processing pipeline: ingestion, deduplication, enrichment, classification, threat scoring, pattern analysis, drone detection, geofence checking, anomaly detection, signal integrity analysis, airspace complexity scoring, formation detection, historical correlation, alert generation, and dashboard delivery.
Data is delivered to your browser via WebSocket connections, ensuring sub-second updates. Our backend processes and enriches incoming ADS-B data every 12 seconds, with results streamed instantly to all connected clients.
AeroScope was born from a fascination with what is flying overhead. After setting up a simple ADS-B receiver with a Raspberry Pi and an RTL-SDR dongle, the founder quickly realized that raw ADS-B data, while fascinating, needed context to be truly useful. What started as a weekend project to visualize local air traffic grew into a full-featured surveillance platform with threat analysis, drone detection, and pattern recognition capabilities.
Today, AeroScope serves a growing community of aviation enthusiasts, academic researchers studying flight patterns, security professionals monitoring restricted airspace, and journalists investigating surveillance aircraft. The platform continues to evolve with new analysis modules, data sources, and visualization tools added regularly.
