Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods for tracking suspect aircraft. One embodiment is related to a method including receiving location data and current flight data of an aircraft, analyzing the location data and current flight data using flight behavior algorithms, detecting route deviation of the aircraft, and providing a report of flight pattern analysis and the detected route deviation to at least one device on a network. Another embodiment is related to a system comprising a location network determining location data of an aircraft, a searchable database storing historical flight activity data, current flight data, and the location data from the location network, a flight tracking module receiving location data and the current flight data of the aircraft from the database, analyzing the location data and current flight data using flight behavior algorithms, detecting route deviation of the aircraft based on the historical flight activity data, and providing a report of flight pattern analysis and the detected route deviation to at least one device on a network.
