## What is SkyWatch Ukraine?

SkyWatch

Overview

SkyWatch is an internal situational awareness application developed exclusively for authorized Control Risks personnel and clients.

The application helps users quickly understand the current air-threat situation in Ukraine by transforming information from multiple publicly available sources into clear, structured, and easy-to-understand security updates.

Instead of monitoring numerous public information channels, authorized users receive concise English notifications describing active threats, reported locations, and changes in the current security situation.

Key Features

* Structured classification of air threats, including:
    * Ballistic missile threats
    * Cruise missile threats
    * Unmanned aerial vehicle (Shahed) activity
    * Air raid alerts
    * Other reported aerial threats
* Concise operational updates
* District-specific information when reliable location data is available
* Automatic filtering of duplicate reports
* Push notifications for important threat updates
* Chronological timeline of reported events

Access

SkyWatch is not a public application.

Access is available exclusively to authorized Control Risks personnel and approved clients receiving security support from Control Risks Ukraine.

User accounts are created, managed, and revoked only by authorized administrators upon approval from Control Risks Ukraine.

There is no public registration.


Information Sources

We are not partnered with any government or military organizations, and we do not receive privileged or non-public information from them.

The information presented within SkyWatch is collected exclusively from publicly available sources.

These sources include:

* Ukraine Alarm API, which is used to determine the official start and end of air raid alerts.
* Publicly available Telegram channels and groups that publish security-related updates.

The application continuously retrieves information from these publicly available sources.


Information Processing

SkyWatch does not generate news or create threat information.

An internal AI classifier analyzes incoming messages from publicly available sources and classifies them into predefined threat categories, such as:

* Air raid alerts
* Ballistic missile threats
* Cruise missile threats
* Drone activity
* District-specific warnings

The AI is used solely as a classification mechanism.

It does not generate, modify, interpret, or invent information.

Messages that cannot be classified with sufficient confidence are automatically discarded and are never presented to users.

After classification, standardized threat categories are translated into English and delivered as notifications to authorized users.

This is particularly important because many Control Risks personnel, expatriates, diplomats, and security teams do not speak Ukrainian, while most publicly available security updates are published only in Ukrainian.


Important Notice

SkyWatch is provided solely to improve situational awareness.

It is not an official emergency warning system and must not be used as the sole source of safety information.

Official air raid alert status is obtained from the Ukraine Alarm API. Other operational updates are aggregated from publicly available information sources and classified into standardized threat categories for easier understanding.

SkyWatch does not claim that all information presented within the application is official or authoritative.

Its purpose is to aggregate, classify, translate, and present publicly available security information in a structured and easy-to-understand format, helping authorized users understand the current situation more efficiently and respond more quickly to potential threats.

Users should always follow instructions issued by Ukrainian authorities and official emergency services.
