A server to fuse and aggregate flight data and process it. It has modules for Airtraffic, Broadcast Remote-ID and DSS connectivity and can be configured to act as a "Remote ID Display Provider".
Flight Blender is two things:
There are different modules that enable this:
Normally a “Display Provider” is used in conjunction with a “Display Application”. In this case Flight Blender output is directed to a Flight Spotlight instance. You can customize a application instance by choosing what kind of modules you want to support, you can pick any or all from the above.
The diagram below shows how Fight Blender works.
Docker and Docker Compose files are available for this software. You can first clone this repository using git clone https://www.github.com/openskies-sh/flight-blender.git
and then go to the directory and use docker-compose up
command.
This will open up port 8080 and you can post air-traffic data to http://localhost:8080/set_air_traffic
and then start the processing.
