This library decodes ADS-B Messages and creates an easy to work with track object.
Message support status
Downlink Format | Human Readable | Supported | Note |
---|---|---|---|
DF0 | Short Air-Air Surveillance | ✅ | |
DF4 | Surveillance, Altitude request | ✅ | Updates Altitude information + SPI (Ident) |
DF5 | Surveillance, Identity request | ✅ | Updates Callsign + SPI (Ident) |
DF11 | MODE S only all-call | ✅ | Broadcasts ICAO Mode-S address |
DF16 | Long Air-Air Surveillance | ✅ | Logs warning when ACAS RA is active |
DF17 | Extended Squitter (Most ADS-B Data) | Partially supported, see DF17/18 status below | |
DF18 | Extended Squitter/Supplementary (Ground) | Partially supported, see DF17/18 status below | |
DF19 | Extended Squitter Military | ❌ | Not supported at this stage |
DF20 | Comm-B Altitude | Partially supported, see DF20/21 status below | |
DF21 | Comm-B Identity | Partially supported, see DF20/21 status below | |
DF24 | Comm-B ELM | Implemented basic sequence no decoding. |
DF17 is used for aircraft, while DF18 is used for other vessels (ground vehicles, static objects, ...)
Most features of the DF17/18 protocol have been implemented, some message lack support for specific fields.

DF20/21 messages are replies to data requests from a radar station, you'll only receive these messages if Mode-S radaris actively requesting this information. You will only receive messages requested by the radar.
Message is structured as follows:
LSB |1----|6--|9----|14----|20-----------|33------------------------------------------------------|89-----------------------| | DF |FS | DR | UM | AC | MB | AP |MSB |----5|--8|---13|----19|-----------32|------------------------------------------------------88|----------------------112|LSB: Least Significant Bit (First bit) (inclusive)MSB: Most Significant bit (Last bit) (Inclusive)DF: Downlink FormatFS: Flight StatusDR: Downlink RequestUM: Utitlity MessageAC: Altitude Code (DF20: Altitude | DF21: Mode-A Code)MB: Comm-B MessageAP: Address / Parity (Mode-S Address + Parity check)
The system uses BDS (comm-B Data Selected) code to determine the requested information. The radar station willsend a request (UF20 / UF21) containing a reply ID. The reply ID is a used by the aircraft in the response.This means the reply by the aircraft does not contain the original BDS, without this info you have to guess which BDS is used.
You run through each BDS and pass the message to the decoder, if the message does not fit you assume it's not correct.Repeat this process until you have a match.
At this moment the coded logic has too many incorrect matches and thus decided to disable BDS guessing.We are actively looking for a fix, or at least the ability to enable this with an experimental flag.We hope with more BDS implemented the guessing accuracy will improve.

This library is compatible withOpenSky dataset.
In order to use the database version you can start ModeS plugin as follows:
classMain{publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args){ModeSDatabasedatabase =newModeSDatabase(Path.of("./doc8643AircraftTypes.csv"),Path.of("./aircraftDatabase.csv"))ModeSmodes =newModeS("127.0.0.1",30002,52.0,0.0); }}
If you don't need or want to use the track management feature you can also use this library without it.
classMain{publicstaticvoidmain(String[]args){ModeSMessageHandlerhandler =newModeSMessageHandler(52.0,0.0);handler.onMessage((df) ->System.out.println(message.getClass().getSimpleName()));ModeSmodes =newModeS("127.0.0.1",30002,handler); }}
You can contribute to this project by reporting/fixing bugs or implement a new packet.
We are always looking for help on this project.
