VOICE INTELLIGENCE · v4.12 · AVIATION + MARINE

Hear every channel.
Resolve who, where, and what’s wrong.

A distributed sensor network that captures, transcribes, and classifies voice traffic across the public aviation and marine VHF spectrum, time-correlated to the aircraft and vessels you already track. Mayday to map pin in under five seconds.

THE GAP · WHY THIS NOW

Aircraft positions are queryable. Vessel positions are queryable. Their voices have not been, until now.

A flight ops center, harbor master, search-and-rescue coordinator, or air-ambulance dispatcher who wants real-time situational awareness today is forced into an option that misses something.

OPTION 01

Living radios

One channel at a time. No transcript, no replay. Depends on a human paying attention 24 hours a day.

OPTION 02

Scanner aggregators

Community-fed audio with random coverage gaps, 10 to 30 second delay, no metadata, no chain of custody.

OPTION 03

Single-airport feeds

One field, audio only. No transcription, no marine, no SAR alerting, no cross-band correlation.

VOICE INTEL

A structured feed.

Every keyed transmission across your area of interest, transcribed and classified, time-correlated to live tracks. Machine readable.

CORE CAPABILITIES · 09

Built for the spectrum, not bolted onto a scanner.

Each capability is independently shippable; together they are a single operational picture for the voice traffic over your area of responsibility.

Massive parallel capture

Each edge node continuously demodulates 16+ aviation AM and marine NFM channels in parallel. No scanning, no missed transmissions when two channels key together.

01 / 09

Forensic per-PTT clips

Every keyed transmission is stored as a discrete clip with site, antenna, frequency, RSSI, SNR, hash, and a UTC stamp disciplined to under 50 ms drift.

02 / 09

Phraseology-tuned ASR

Domain-adapted speech recognition for ICAO aviation and IMO marine procedure words. Sub-10% WER on aviation, sub-15% on marine. Two to five second latency.

03 / 09

Distress classification

Mayday, pan-pan, sécurité, declared emergency, minimum fuel, person overboard, NORDO patterns. Multi-label, with operator-tunable false positive thresholds.

04 / 09

Position from voice

Lat/lon, intersections, mile markers, buoys, runways, named landmarks. Parsed from speech and dropped on the map automatically.

05 / 09

Entity resolution

Spoken callsigns and vessel names linked to registry, then matched against the live aircraft and vessel tracks already in your common operating picture.

06 / 09

Cross-band correlation

One incident produces traffic on four or five frequencies. Distress, controller, dispatch, bridge-to-bridge, fused into a single chronological incident record.

07 / 09

Chain of custody

SHA-256 audio hashes, signed sidecar metadata, end-to-end audit log. Exportable for incident review, regulatory inquiry, and after-action documentation.

08 / 09

Multilingual capture

English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean. Additional language packs available for border, Caribbean, Great Lakes, and Pacific operations.

09 / 09

THE MOAT · CROSS-BAND CORRELATION

One incident. Five frequencies. One readable timeline.

A single mayday produces traffic on the distress channel, the controller, the rescue coordinator, dispatch, and bridge-to-bridge, all within a minute. Voice intelligence reconciles them into one record, attached to the live track.

SPECTRUM COVERAGE

Public bands. Comprehensive capture.

Voice intelligence operates entirely on openly broadcast aviation and marine spectrum, by design intended to be received by anyone in radio range. Public safety bands are deliberately out of scope.

FIELD CONFIGURATIONS

One platform. Eight footprints.

Voice intelligence ships as edge nodes plus a central fusion tier. Configurations are chosen by area of responsibility: a single field, a metro, a coastline, a navigable river system.

Site type Typical configuration Footprint
Small airport · FBO
Single node, six to eight aviation channels: CTAF, ground, tower, approach, GUARD, automated weather, air-to-air. Local console, optional cloud fusion.
1 NODE
Regional airport · metro
Two to three nodes covering an entire metro area of responsibility. Full controller stack, GUARD, surrounding CTAFs. Track-correlated alerting.
2–3 NODES
Inland waterway
Nodes every 25 to 40 miles along navigable rivers. Marine VHF plus weather, AIS-correlated, optional integration with locks and dam authorities.
N · 40 MI
Coastal sector · harbor
Coastal nodes covering CH06, CH13, CH16, CH22A, CH70 DSC. Supplementary intelligence layer alongside official receivers. AIS-correlated.

FORENSIC

FUSION INTEGRATION

A sensor for the panes you already operate.

Voice intelligence is not another window. It feeds the map your operators already watch: voice transcripts ride alongside the same aircraft and vessel tracks the rest of your common operating picture is built on.

TACTICAL CLIENT
Cursor-on-target events

Each transcribed transmission becomes a track update or distress event on the maps your operators already use, with a clickable link to the original audio.

AUTONOMY MESH
External sensor stream

Voice events appear as sensor observations correlated to airframe and vessel tracks, available to any operator inside the area of responsibility.

DATA PLATFORM
Real-time dataset feed

A live, joinable dataset: clip, frequency, transcript, classifier labels, extracted entities, matched track, audio URL. Built for analytics and dashboards.

FLIGHT TRACKING
Flight history webhook

Where authorized, voice transcripts attach to flight history records so reviewers see what was said alongside the track that was flown.

MARINE TRAFFIC
Vessel history webhook

Equivalent for vessels: voice events attached to the AIS track of the boat that produced them, for ops review and post-incident analysis.

PILOT APPS
Pre-arrival awareness

Recent uncontrolled-field activity surfaces in pilot-facing apps for the destination airport, ahead of the first call to common traffic.

MARINA SYSTEMS
Arrival pre-coordination

Inbound vessel hails on bridge-to-bridge and distress automatically surface in marina management for slip and fuel coordination.

CUSTOM
gRPC · webhooks · API

A streaming gRPC API with backpressure-aware delivery, REST and GraphQL surfaces, a WebSocket live stream, and outbound webhooks for one-off routing.

COMPLIANCE · REGULATORY POSTURE

Lawful by design.
Auditable by default.

Every band the system operates on is openly broadcast and intended to be received by anyone in radio range. There is no encrypted-traffic ambiguity, no public-safety political surface, and no wiretap exposure. Commercial deployment is unambiguously lawful in the United States and most allied jurisdictions.

  • FCC PART 87Aviation services. Receive-only operation on openly broadcast aviation voice frequencies, by design intended to be received by any aircraft in radio range.
  • FCC PART 80Maritime services. The international distress and calling channel is monitored by every shore station and equipped vessel; there is no expectation of privacy.
  • 18 USC 2511The federal wiretap statute explicitly exempts radio communications readily accessible to the general public, the bands voice intelligence operates on.
  • FAA AC 91-48Addresses the use of recordings and transcripts for crew training and incident review, supporting after-action use of captured voice records.
  • GMDSS · IMOInternational convention expects the marine distress channel to be monitored by anyone equipped to do so. Third-party rescue augmentation is supported, not restricted.
  • AUDIT · COCFull audit logging and chain-of-custody export for federal, state, and authority deployments. Evidentiary-grade artifact handling end to end.

DEPLOYMENT · INQUIRY

Make the spectrum over your operation queryable.

Pilot one site in a week. Cover a metro, a coastline, or a river system in a quarter. Voice events land on the maps you already operate, attached to the tracks you already trust.
