A curated list of awesome ASD-B (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Dependent_Surveillance%E2%80%93Broadcast) tools, projects, docker images, resources and other shiny things 📡.
 
Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) is a surveillance technology and form of Electronic Conspicuity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_collision_avoidance_system#Aircraft_collision_avoidance) in which an aircraft 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft) determines its position via satellite navigation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_navigation) or other sensors and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked.
