About SkyWatch
A public situational-awareness workspace for understanding fast-moving aviation, maritime, alert, environmental, and open-source data.
Open the live mapOne operational picture
SkyWatch brings fragmented public and commercially licensed observations into one responsive map. It is designed for researchers, journalists, aviation enthusiasts, analysts, and members of the public who need to compare signals without moving between many disconnected dashboards.
The product combines aircraft and vessel positions, public emergency warnings, satellites, environmental layers, markets, news, and community discussion. Every live view should be read with its displayed source time and freshness status.
What SkyWatch is not
SkyWatch is not an official warning service, air-traffic-control system, navigation tool, or source of military certainty. Coverage can be incomplete, delayed, estimated, or temporarily unavailable. Safety decisions must always follow the relevant official authority.
An aircraft trail shows received observations, not intent. A thermal point shows detected heat, not proof of an attack. A public alert shows what a source published, not an independent confirmation of the underlying event.
Built for transparent uncertainty
The interface distinguishes live, cached, stale, estimated, and unavailable data. Duplicate alerts are consolidated into events, new UAV incidents are kept separate, and old observations are not deliberately presented as current positions.
SkyWatch favors a cautious explanation over a dramatic claim. Source limitations, observation gaps, and false-positive risks are part of the product, not footnotes hidden from the user.
