One thing I didn't expect when I joined @Wingbits:
How much do station operators care about the mission, not just the rewards!
I've spoken to people running antennas in places where commercial flight tracking infrastructure barely exists.
They're not doing it for passive income. They're doing it because they think decentralized airspace intelligence matters.
The token aligns the incentives. The community was already there.

🚨 Emergency Squawk 7700 over Germany
A Boeing C-17A Globemaster III (RCH190) operated by the United States Air Force has declared Squawk 7700 — the international code for a general emergency — while flying over Germany. Check it on @wingbits map

@MolonLabeVC@wingbits I don't think I ever suggested anything of the sort.
Just that I wouldn't be surprised if the environment changes significantly in the future especially with integration of new types of aircraft such as BVLOS etc.
There are several ways you could possibly solve that:
- you knew where the ground stations were before any spoofing occurred, and/or have a secondary confirmation of their location
- your ground stations cover a large area making it much harder to spoof the GNSS across them all
- corroborate the data with satellite based MLAT
- corroborate the ground station position with other geolocation techniques
- use emerging technologies such as OSNMA from Galileo to verify the GNSS packets
This is not an exhaustive list but I'm just trying to demonstrate that it is possible to solve for some of these things.
One thing's for sure... It will be interesting to see how it develops over next 5+ years with drones etc!

@MolonLabeVC@wingbits It depends what you mean by an "operational environment". But yes, usually this is used for SSR purposes and situational awareness.

@MolonLabeVC@wingbits Wouldn't be surprised if that changes in future though... really beneficial to capture as much data as possible and analyse to see if any looks spoofed or unreliable. If you can process it into useful insights, more data is usually better than less, IMHO.
