Open defense intelligence, built on evidence.

Blackwing is a defense-intelligence operating system, built the way the closed platforms are (an entity ontology, linked geospatial, network and temporal views, multi-source fusion) but open, neutral, and source-transparent. Where the closed platforms assert authority behind a login, we show the provenance of every datum and hand you the data.

The instrument is a 3D globe that fuses openly-licensed sources into one picture: the world's armed conflicts and their event-level record, military installations, nuclear facilities, airfields, and live military aircraft in the air right now. Every layer carries its source and its licence on its face. Nothing is invented, and nothing non-commercial or no-derivatives is used, so what we publish can be redistributed.

Underneath the map is an ontology: everything is a typed object (a conflict, an actor, a weapon system, a facility, a person, a source) joined by typed links. You navigate the way an analyst does, pivoting from object to object through a link graph rather than reading disconnected pages, and every contested figure is shown as a range next to the competing published figures, never flattened into one confident number.

And the record is not locked inside this website. The registry and the event-level datasets are published as open, machine-readable data under CC BY 4.0, so a journalist, a researcher, or an autonomous agent can download it, check it against the sources, and reuse it with attribution. The strongest answer to a contested world is to hand people the evidence and let them verify it themselves.
