Coverage varies. Some positions may be delayed.
Search 28,000+ military, government, and special interest aircraft. Operator details, images, and classifications from Dictator Alert to Special Forces.
Visualize aggregate flight patterns and identify high-activity corridors. Filter by time range, aircraft category, or your personal watchlist.
Browse nuclear facilities, military installations, government buildings, and space launch sites. Each includes images, descriptions, and Wikipedia links.
Technical specifications for 150+ military aircraft types. Dimensions, performance data, sensor packages, and OSINT significance.
Real-time detection of emergency transponder codes — hijack (7500), radio failure (7600), emergency (7700), and military-specific codes.
Real-time detection of aircraft operating near nuclear facilities, military installations, and government sites — 400+ geofenced locations worldwide.
From presidential transports to special operations helicopters
Our platform monitors a curated database of high-interest aircraft including presidential and VIP transports, reconnaissance and surveillance platforms (Oxcart program), special operations aircraft, military gunships, Coast Guard and border patrol, and government executive jets. Each aircraft is categorized by priority level for efficient monitoring.
Real-time position data is sourced from community-driven ADS-B receiver networks including airplanes.live, adsb.lol, adsb.fi, and adsb.one with automatic failover. Aircraft identification comes from the open-source Plane Alert database, enhanced with additional imagery and operator information. Location data is manually curated from public sources. Images are primarily from Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons.
Beyond raw data, we maintain curated databases of aircraft images, detailed type specifications with OSINT-relevant sensor information, and a growing collection of sensitive locations with geofencing capabilities. All content focuses on publicly observable aircraft using ADS-B transponders.
Military Aircraft Tracker is an open-source project built for the OSINT community. The codebase, aircraft database, and location data are all available for inspection, contribution, and improvement. We believe in transparency and community-driven intelligence gathering.
Help us improve the platform! Report inaccuracies, suggest new aircraft for the database, propose sensitive locations, or contribute code. Every contribution makes the tracker more valuable for the OSINT community.
Feature requests, bug reports, and data corrections are all welcome.
