#Terminal & Globe

The Terminal is Hydra's primary view. It renders a real-time 3D globe streaming live data from all connected sources — aircraft, vessels, signals, cyber attacks, missile alerts, earthquakes, satellites, and more.

#Globe Interaction

• Rotate — click and drag anywhere on the globe
• Zoom — scroll wheel or pinch gesture
• Click markers — click any aircraft, vessel, signal pin, or other marker to open its detail popup
• Click countries — countries with active signals are highlighted; clicking one shows signal details

#Intelligence Ticker

The scrolling ticker bar at the top of the Terminal shows every incoming signal as it's ingested in real time. Sources include ADS-B aircraft updates, AIS vessel positions, missile alerts, Twitter and Telegram OSINT, Polymarket movements, and cyber threat pulses. Click any ticker item to jump to it on the globe.

#Global Search

The search bar at the top of the globe lets you search across all live data simultaneously:

• Aircraft — search by ICAO hex code, callsign, or operator
• Vessels — search by MMSI or vessel name
• Signals — search by keyword or title
• Feed articles — search by title or source

Results appear in a dropdown. Clicking a result navigates the globe camera to that entity and opens its popup.

#Entity Filter

The entity filter (top area) controls which entity types are visible on the globe:

• Aircraft — military and government flights
• Naval Vessels — ships tracked via AIS
• Satellites — orbital positions from TLE data
• All — show everything simultaneously

Each entity type has sub-filters. For example, selecting Aircraft opens a dropdown with categories like Fighter, ISR, Bomber, Tanker, Transport, and UAV — each showing a live count of how many are currently tracked.

#Follow Mode

The crosshair button activates Follow Mode. When enabled, the globe camera automatically pans to each new incoming event as it arrives — flying to missile alerts, troop movements, cyber attack origins, and new signal detections. The crosshair icon turns red when Follow Mode is active.

This is useful for passive monitoring — leave the Terminal open and the globe will continuously track to wherever activity is happening.

#Live Camera Feeds

The camera button opens a floating panel with live YouTube streams from strategic global locations:

• Great Mosque of Mecca
• Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem
• Mount of Olives
• Golden Horn, Istanbul
• TV7 Israel 24/7 news
• And more

You can watch up to 4 simultaneous feeds. Each feed can be muted or resized.

#Popups

Clicking any entity on the globe opens a detail popup:

#Aircraft Popup

Shows callsign, ICAO hex, aircraft type, operator, altitude, speed, heading, squawk code, origin/destination airports, and emergency status if applicable.

#Vessel Popup

Shows vessel name, MMSI, vessel type, flag state, speed, course, destination, and current navigation status (underway, anchored, fishing, etc.).

#Signal Popup

Shows signal title, severity, source, affected countries, coordinates, and category. If the signal has coordinates, a satellite before/after comparison image may be available.

#Satellite Popup

Shows satellite name, NORAD ID, category, current altitude, and orbital period.

#Mobile

On mobile devices, the globe fills the entire screen. The feed panel slides in from the right edge when you tap a marker or open the panel manually.
