MANY FEEDS, ONE TRUTH

Multi-source fusion

No single ADS-B network sees everything, and several see the same aircraft at once. AeroScope merges 60+ public feeds plus a satellite-ADS-B layer into one coherent picture — so the same airframe appears once, with the best available data, not as a cloud of conflicting dots.

The pipeline

Ingest · reconcile · resolve

01

Ingest

Pull live traffic from many community networks (adsb.fi, adsb.lol, airplanes.live, OpenSky) plus satellite ADS-B, scoped to the active map area.

02

Key by ICAO

Group every report by the aircraft's unique 24-bit ICAO address — the one identifier shared across all feeds.

03

Reconcile

When two networks report the same airframe, pick the freshest, most complete and most internally consistent fields.

04

Serve one track

Emit a single de-duplicated aircraft, with terrestrial and satellite views reconciled into one position.

Why it matters

Coverage and trust, together

🗺️

Wider coverage

Overlapping networks fill each other's gaps, and the satellite layer reaches oceanic and remote areas terrestrial receivers cannot.

Cross-validation

The same aircraft seen by independent receivers is a free integrity check — agreement raises confidence; disagreement is itself a signal.

🧹

No double-counting

De-duplication by ICAO means one airframe is one marker, so counts, alerts and exports stay honest.

Scope note. "Fusion" here means fusing many ADS-B sources together. AeroScope does not claim to correlate unrelated domains such as maritime AIS, OSINT feeds or non-cooperative radar — its picture is built from cooperative ADS-B broadcasts, fused well.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does AeroScope fuse together?
Many independent public ADS-B feeds (adsb.fi, adsb.lol, airplanes.live, OpenSky and others) plus a satellite-ADS-B layer. All of them carry the same 1090 MHz ADS-B broadcasts, which is what makes them mergeable into one picture.
How does it avoid showing the same aircraft multiple times?
Every report is keyed by the aircraft's unique 24-bit ICAO address. Reports that share an address are reconciled into a single track using the freshest, most complete and most self-consistent fields, so one airframe is drawn once.
Does it fuse non-aviation data like ships or radar?
No. AeroScope fuses multiple cooperative ADS-B sources only. It does not correlate maritime AIS, OSINT or non-cooperative radar — the picture is built entirely from aircraft that broadcast ADS-B.
