AIRCRAFT ANOMALY MONITORING

Project SkyGrid

Browser-first airspace monitoring. Detect and review aircraft anomalies without leaving the browser. Monitor live traffic, triage suspicious patterns, and forward validated events into downstream workflows with structured data.

Monitor. Triage. Coordinate.

Three operational modes, one seamless workflow.

Monitor

See active aircraft, anomaly markers, and watch-area overlays in one operational 3D map view powered by Cesium.

Triage

Review anomaly events across all eight detection types with timestamps, location context, and configurable filter controls.

Coordinate

Route validated events to downstream systems through stable API and webhook delivery paths. Structured JSON payloads, ready for integration.

Eight Anomaly Types. Full Coverage.

Every detection is advisory, timestamped, and structured for analyst review — not a final determination.

Loiter

Aircraft remains in the same H3 cell beyond the configured dwell threshold. Flags circling, holding, or surveillance behaviour.

Ghost

Missing callsign with non-zero position and airborne altitude profile. Identifies aircraft transmitting position but no identification.

Squawk

Emergency transponder codes — 7500 (hijack), 7600 (radio failure), 7700 (general emergency). Immediate priority events.

Rapid Descent

Abnormal vertical speed exceeding safe descent parameters. Identifies potential emergencies or unusual operations.

ICAO Spoof

Aircraft transmitting a Mode-S address that doesn't match expected registration. Flags potential identity manipulation.

GPS Jamming

Position data inconsistencies suggesting GPS interference or spoofing. Cross-references multiple data points for validation.

Formation Flight

Multiple aircraft maintaining unusually close proximity and coordinated movement patterns outside of published formation routes.

Callsign Duplicate

Same callsign appearing simultaneously on multiple transponders. Indicates configuration errors or potential spoofing.

How Detections Are Produced

01

Live Data Ingestion

SkyGrid continuously ingests global ADS-B and Mode-S data from distributed receiver networks, providing real-time position and metadata for thousands of aircraft simultaneously.

02

Watch Area Filtering

Analysts define geographic watch areas. Only aircraft inside active watch zones are processed for anomaly evaluation, keeping signal-to-noise ratio high and compute focused.

03

Rule Evaluation

Eight detection classes run in parallel against filtered traffic. Loiter dwell thresholds, ghost callsign checks, squawk code monitoring, rapid descent, GPS consistency, and more.

04

Event Delivery

Matched anomalies are classified, timestamped, and delivered via the dashboard, REST API, or webhook endpoints. Structured JSON payloads ready for downstream triage and integration.

Start with one watch area.

Tune a focused rule set, validate event delivery, then scale coverage. The getting started guide walks you through the first 15 minutes.
