Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)

Real-time aircraft tracking and air-domain intelligence

Geospatial Intelligence provides access to global ADS-B data to support aviation monitoring, security operations, intelligence analysis and situational awareness. By integrating ADS-B with satellite imagery, AIS, OSINT and analytics, we deliver a complete picture of air and maritime activity – anywhere on the planet.

ADS-B enables continuous tracking of aircraft identity, position, altitude, speed and heading. Satellite-based ADS-B extends coverage far beyond terrestrial receivers, providing persistent visibility over oceans, remote regions and high-risk air corridors.

Satellite ADS-B coverage

We integrate ADS-B feeds into dashboards, analytical tools and intelligence workflows to support both operational monitoring and long-term pattern analysis

  • Visibility

    Global aircraft visibility, including remote and oceanic regions

  • Flight Data

    Low-latency real-time and historical flight data

  • Coverage

    Coverage beyond the reach of ground-based radar

  • Tracking

    Reliable tracking for commercial, general and selected government aviation

Case Studies

Modelling Sea Level Rise and Storm Surge Risk for Coastal Resilience

Geospatial Intelligence conducted a sea level rise and storm surge modelling assessment for a coastal region comprising multiple cities. Using Earth Observation data, the analysis identified high-risk coastal zones and evaluated the potential impact of extreme storm surge scenarios. The insights enable local governments to strengthen emergency planning, protect critical infrastructure, and guide long-term climate adaptation strategies.Continue reading→

Why ADS-B matters

ADS-B allows organisations to:

  • Monitor global aircraft movements in near real time
  • Enhance air-domain awareness and operational planning
  • Detect unusual flight behaviour or unauthorised activity
  • Support border protection and security operations
  • Improve emergency response and search-and-rescue coordination
  • Combine air-tracking data with imagery and OSINT for deeper intelligence
