ADX-1 gives 2 to 15 aircraft operators a dedicated dispatch appliance that listens on the dispatch frequency, opens and closes flight following by radio, tracks active aircraft, watches the clock, escalates late or overdue flights by SMS, and gives the whole team a shared operational picture.
A 5-aircraft operator outgrows the whiteboard. A 10-aircraft operator outgrows group texts. But they can't justify a full-time dispatcher. The team relies on memory, timesheets scatter across emails, and escalation happens too late. When somebody notices, it's often already a problem. There's no shared picture, no accountability, no escalation policy, and no replay when something goes wrong.
Responsibility diffuses across the team. Late flights slip through. Escalation happens too late or not at all.
Nobody maintains a watch list. The team forgets who is overdue. Accountability is impossible without a record.
Who is airborne? Who is late? What's the weather? Information lives in radio chatter, not a dashboard.
The appliance listens to the radio, maintains the flight state, watches the clock, escalates through SMS, and gives the team a clear operational picture. Deterministic automation. Structured workflow. Human authority preserved.
ADX-1 listens on the dispatch frequency, recognizes flight opening and closing calls, and maintains accurate flight state without crew input beyond radio work.
Aircraft positions update via ADS-B. Last-known positions are logged. The team knows who is airborne, where they were, and when they should land.
Late flights trigger SMS alerts to designated contacts. Overdue flights escalate. The team gets notified at the right moment with the right severity.
A shared dashboard shows active flights, pending events, system health, and METAR. Everyone sees the same operational picture in real time.
Every flight opening, status change, and escalation is logged. Dispatch records become searchable operational intelligence. Accountability is automatic.
If ADX-1 fails, dispatch operations continue using manual controls. The radio stays connected. The operation doesn't break.

Workflow sequence
Call → Confirm → Track → Escalate → Close → Report
The operations display shows all active flights, their positions, status badges, pending alerts, METAR, and system health in one view. Every team member sees the same truth.
Active aircraft positions updated via ADS-B with track history and last-known-position markers.
All active flights with callsign, altitude, ETA, status (normal/late/overdue), and escalation indicators.
Radio connectivity, appliance status, ADS-B receiver, SMS service, and manual fallback status.
Every flight opening, status change, escalation event, and closing is logged with timestamps and metadata. Query the record. Know what actually happened. Build operational trends.
Dispatch events logged with timestamps
Late-flight escalation alerts via SMS
Operational awareness across the team
Searchable records for every flight
Operations philosophy
Know what actually happened.
ADX-1 runs on state-machine logic. Input X always produces output Y. No machine learning. No language models. No black-box guessing. Every action is predictable, auditable, and understood by your team.
This is why ADX-1 works for both airplanes and helicopters with a single appliance: deterministic automation doesn't need to guess or learn. It just follows the rules you define.
Repeatable. Auditable. No surprises.
ADX-1 works out of the box for airplanes and helicopters. We configure it around your aircraft, procedures, and escalation contacts. Setup includes:
✓ Aircraft registration and tail numbers
✓ Callsigns and operator identities
✓ Flight types and expected durations
✓ Dispatch phraseology and radio recognition
✓ Escalation thresholds and contact list
✓ Alert profiles and SMS recipients
✓ Reporting templates and data export
✓ METAR station assignments
✓ ADS-B filtering and tracking zones
The ADX-1 appliance is a turnkey dispatch system. Everything you need is integrated: the radio interface, ADS-B receiver, local state engine, operations display server, and SMS escalation logic.
