The last 7 days
Why these signals
- Tanker aircraft. Air-to-air refuelling stretches the range of fighters and bombers; tanker surges have preceded large air operations.
- Airborne radar (AWACS). Airborne early-warning aircraft run the air picture during operations and air defence alerts.
- Surveillance aircraft. Reconnaissance and signals-intelligence aircraft (RC-135, P-8, RQ-4) watch an area before and during a crisis.
- Military airlift. Heavy transports (C-17, A400M) move troops, munitions and air defence into a region.
- Civil air traffic. Airlines reroute and airspace closes before and during strikes, so the sky empties.
- GPS interference. Share of aircraft reporting poor position accuracy, a sign of GPS jamming or spoofing.
- Conflict news events. Assaults, fighting and mass violence located in the region by the GDELT news monitor.
- 24-hour buildup. Hours flown by tanker, radar, surveillance and transport aircraft over the past 24 hours. Before both strikes the map was tested on, this was the signal that rose first.
