Radar tracks, CPA, and squawk alerts — without leaving the map.

Point an ASTERIX CAT-048 UDP multicast feed at the app — every track lands on the map and in a live Track Table with velocity vectors, trails, emergency-squawk alerting, and CPA between any two tracks.

Track Table + CPA

The deconfliction calculation, built in

Every active track in a sortable grid — pick any two and get Closest Point of Approach: time, distance, bearing.

Live ingestion

ASTERIX CAT-048 over UDP multicast — tracks update in place, no batch import.

Velocity vectors

Heading-by-speed projection 3 minutes ahead — standard ATC display element.

Squawk alerting

7500 / 7600 / 7700 auto-detect: pulsing marker, toast, StatusBar alert.

Track trails

Last 30 positions as fading dashed polylines — history at a glance.

Beyond primary radar

One overlay pattern, every track source

ADS-B, AIS, and APRS feed the same DuckDB hub and inherit Track Table, trails, vectors, and analytics.

  • ADS-B (SDR) — readsb / dump978, RemoteID drones
  • AIS — rtl_ais + NMEA VDM/VDO
  • APRS — RF + APRS-IS stations and objects
  • Pattern-of-life analytics via DuckDB TrackSourceRegistry
