## ALPR layer (DeFlock / OpenStreetMap)
deflock.me has no bulk download API. KestrelOS queries OpenStreetMap via Overpass (`surveillance:type=ALPR`) and returns **GeoJSON FeatureCollection** from `GET /api/alpr`.
- **Map:** ALPR layer is on by default (toggle top-left to hide). Marker popups show OSM identifying tags (manufacturer, model, operator, ref, Wikidata, etc.) when contributors tagged them.
- **Offline:** Run `npm run import:alpr` to preload SQLite; cache serves automatically when Overpass is unreachable.

# ADS-B and AIS
Aircraft and vessels use the same **CoT** store as ATAK/iTAK. The map consumes `GET /api/cot/stream` (SSE, viewport bbox). Toggle **Air**, **Surface**, and **Team** on the map.
## Accuracy tiers
1. **Tactical (best):** local SDR/AIS receiver → [adsbcot](https://github.com/snstac/adsbcot) / [aiscot](https://github.com/snstac/aiscot) → KestrelOS CoT `:8089` (sub-second updates).
2. **Vessels (live OSINT):** AISStream WebSocket push as vessels transmit.
3. **Aircraft (awareness OSINT):** OpenSky bbox poll — not a live stream; typical lag ~5s.
For tactical use, run local receivers. Do not rely on OpenSky alone.
## Freshness
Tracks update via SSE `update` events (CoT `:8089`, AISStream) or coalesced `snapshot` after each OpenSky poll. Stale tracks are removed automatically (team ~90s, OSINT ~30s without a new fix).
OSINT feeds run only while a map client is connected (SSE subscriber). Keep the map tab visible for live updates.
## Self-hosted
**ADS-B:** [adsbcot](https://github.com/snstac/adsbcot) → `tls://host:8089`
```ini
[adsbcot]
COT_URL = tls://kestrelos.example.com:8089
FEED_URL = tcp+beast://127.0.0.1:30005
```
**AIS:** [aiscot](https://github.com/snstac/aiscot) → `tls://host:8089`
```ini
[aiscot]
COT_URL = tls://kestrelos.example.com:8089
FEED_URL = tcp://127.0.0.1:10110
```
Use KestrelOS credentials (see [atak-itak.md](atak-itak.md)).
## OSINT APIs (optional)
Set these only if you want viewport OSINT without local receivers:
| Variable | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `AISSTREAM_API_KEY` | AISStream WebSocket |
| `OPENSKY_CLIENT_ID` / `OPENSKY_CLIENT_SECRET` | OpenSky OAuth (recommended for production) |
UIDs: `ICAO.*` (ADS-B), `MMSI.*` (AIS). Icons follow CoT type (`a-f-A-*`, `a-f-S-*`, `a-f-G-*`).
