Project peregrine: Enhancing public sector research in global transparency and anti-corruption through open aviation data

Abstract

ADS-B technology is expanding the amount of flight data made available, in the open source, for public sector research. Nowhere is this benefit more visible than in anti-corruption and global transparency research where ADS-B derived flight data is helping expose the airborne movements of corrupt global elites, dodgy public officials, and a vast array of illicit and criminal actors including wildlife traffickers and conflict financiers.
