There are a lot of "war maps" online right now. Most do one of two things badly: they cover a single front (just Ukraine, just Israel-Gaza, etc.), or they're locked behind enterprise pricing nobody on the open OSINT side can afford.
We started building Radarix.ai because we kept hitting the same operational gap: when an alert lands in your feed, you have seconds to triangulate it across air, sea, and ground signal — and there's no one place that gives you all of those at once, in near real-time, for free.
What it actually is
Radarix.ai is a live aggregated OSINT radar. One map, multiple domains:
- 🚀 Missile alerts — strikes, launches, regional warnings
- 🛩️ Drone activity — military UAVs, civilian anomalies, swarm reports
- ✈️ Aviation — ADS-B, unusual flight patterns, no-fly violations
- 🚢 Maritime — AIS, ship detentions, gaps, blockades, oil incidents
- ⚠️ Cross-border events — artillery, infiltration, military buildup
The whole point is aggregation. Instead of bouncing between Flightradar24, MarineTraffic, a dozen OSINT Telegram channels, and Janes when you can afford it — you get one map.
Why it's free
Right now: 100% free. No paywall, no tiers. We're not a B2B intelligence product (at least not yet). Most of the data pipelines already existed from prior work, and the marginal cost of running the public-facing map is small enough that we'd rather have coverage than revenue in this phase.
There's also no "personal data" angle. Radarix.ai does not expose private information, does not track individuals, and has no "find this person" mode. It's situational awareness on civilian-relevant events, period.
What's under the hood
A few light tech notes (deeper write-ups in the next posts):
-
Live air picture — ADS-B feeds; we lean on open community feeds like
adsb.lolwhere licensing permits, plus standard commercial routes for fill-in. - Maritime layer — AIS data; MarineTraffic is whitelisted in our CSP allowlist for embedded ship detail views.
- OSINT layer — a deduplicated, scored aggregation of conflict-relevant signal from public sources: structured news APIs, monitored Telegram channels, sanctioned-ship registers, official advisories.
- Verification posture — pipelines explicitly flag unverified events; we'd rather show "reported, unconfirmed" than fabricate certainty just to make the dashboard feel populated.
- Multilingual — EN primary, summaries in additional languages so the map is useful outside English-speaking newsrooms.
Who this is for
A wider net than most OSINT tools openly admit aiming at:
- OSINT analysts and verification teams who need a quick cross-domain pulse
- Journalists and war reporters tracking unfolding events
- Maritime traders watching for incident-driven volatility
- Civilians in regions of active threat who want a single "what's happening within X km of me" dashboard
- Security teams that don't have a six-figure intel subscription budget
What's next
Active work:
- Faster source onboarding — when a new front opens, coverage should follow in hours, not weeks
- Richer aviation/maritime cross-referencing (e.g. spotting vessel-aircraft patterns that suggest intercept activity)
- Developer access — if you build OSINT tools and want a structured feed to subscribe to, get in touch
If you work in this space — try the map at radarix.ai, and tell us where it's wrong, where it's slow, and what should be on it that isn't.
This is the first build-log post from Radarix.ai. Coming next: deep dives on the data pipeline — ADS-B at scale, AIS gap detection, and OSINT signal scoring.
