Problem
Existing ADS-B tracking systems rely on volunteers and hobbyists, leading to coverage gaps, data inconsistency, and scalability limitations, which undermines the aviation industry's need for reliable, real-time, global data. Emerging sectors like drone delivery cannot operate safely without reliable ADS-B data.
Solution
Derad Network is building an incentivized ADS-B network powered by decentralized ground stations to address the limitations of volunteer-based systems. By aligning global participation with token rewards, Derad Network directly addresses coverage gaps, data inconsistency, and scalability issues. The network enables continuous tracking of every flight, enhancing aviation surveillance coverage and ensuring reliable data acquisition with built-in redundancy. Data streams from ground stations and data processing nodes are monitored by zBAF AI, a decentralized AI model that provides instant, advanced flight data and surveillance intelligence for governmental and private organizations.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes governmental and private organizations requiring advanced flight data and surveillance intelligence, as well as aviation enthusiasts and aerospace professionals.
