Hybrid War Tracker
Open, AI-assisted OSINT on hybrid warfare across Europe & NATO.
Purpose
Hybrid threats don’t announce themselves. They emerge as scattered incidents—GPS jamming, severed seabed cables, unexplained outages, coordinated disinformation—each too small to command attention, but decisive in aggregate. Conventional reporting forgets these signals within hours.
Hybrid War Tracker preserves what the news cycle forgets. We collect open-source signals across land, air, sea, cyber, space, and undersea domains, then normalize them into a durable ledger that resists narrative drift and enables correlation over weeks, months, and years.
What We Track
HWT maps hybrid activity across domains used for pressure, disruption, or coercion. We track:
- Electronic Warfare: GPS/GNSS jamming, spoofing, RF interference.
- Undersea, Maritime & Seabed: cable/pipeline anomalies, port/AIS irregularities, naval shadowing.
- Aviation & Airspace: violations, unmanned incursions, ISR pressure flights.
- Cyber Operations: infrastructure disruption, probing, coordinated intrusions.
- Information & Cognitive Ops: disinfo clusters, synchronized narratives, intimidation signaling.
- Border Pressure & Gray-Zone Coercion: weaponized migration, sabotage, proxy actions near borders.
- Economic, Energy & Sanctions Pressure: sanctions evasion, illicit procurement, abrupt supply leverage, commodity coercion.
- Espionage, Active Measures & Covert Influence: undeclared agents, intel expulsions, political subversion, funding channels.
- Proxies, Front Organizations & Hybrid Enablers: state-linked NGOs/media shells, diaspora manipulation, auxiliary networks.
How It Works
Signals from media, social, maritime/aviation trackers, plus one-click submissions via Quick Submit.
Automated extraction of entities, geos, evidence, and media metadata from pages and screenshots.
Analyst validation to enforce schema, confidence, relevance, and quality.
Weekly briefs surface trends, clusters, and anomalies: what’s increasing, what’s new, what’s missing.
Why It Exists
Hybrid activity blends sabotage, espionage, pressure operations, and information campaigns. It’s designed to remain deniable, fragmented, and below the threshold of conventional conflict. Institutions often respond to isolated incidents; they rarely retain continuity to see the full pattern.
HWT provides that continuity. By capturing weak signals early and preserving them in structured form, we expose correlations, surface emerging risks, and counter hostile influence for analysts, journalists, policymakers, and the broader OSINT community.
Governance & Principles
- OSINT only: No classified sources; transparent provenance.
- Schema-first: Enforced fields for time, location, category, confidence, evidence.
- Human-in-the-loop: Analysts review and approve before publication.
- Durability: Versioning and audit logs prevent narrative drift over time.
