Live Military Intelligence (Active Mil Membership)

Summary: What the Active Mil membership unlocks — live military activity across bases, sectors, ranges and refuelling areas, and who a frequency is active for.

Live Mil Activity is an exclusive layer available to members with an active Active Mil subscription. Instead of relying only on predicted positions, it shows you what’s actually happening based on which frequencies are active on the live UKAFG feed.

Bases and Swanwick Mil sectors “light up” on the map — green, amber, or red — depending on how recently their frequency was active. You control how recent counts as “active” with an adjustable window of 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.

What’s Included

• Active Bases — see which military airbases currently have live radio activity.
• Mil Sectors — the same live-activity view for Swanwick Mil air traffic control sectors.
• Refuel Areas — tanker activity in Air-to-Air Refuelling Areas, with a 🛢 tanker badge and the active refuelling frequency when a join-up is detected.
• Ranges — see when aircraft are actively working a danger area, with fast-jet activity specifically highlighted. Only true ranges count: the danger areas on the Ranges list and range operating areas, worked low to medium level, never RPAS corridors, buffer zones or restricted areas.
• Active Airspace — danger and restricted areas currently activated by NOTAM, so you can see not just the boundary but whether it’s live right now.

Active Frequencies on Aircraft

Every map member’s aircraft panel says when its Listen on frequency, or one of the alternatives, is active on the live feed just now (see Reading the Aircraft Info Panel). Active Mil membership adds who the frequency is active for — the squadron, base or service — on that chip, on the Also active line that lists the other frequencies of the aircraft’s unit in use, and on the active chips of the Live Military Board. The squadron’s air-to-air and ops frequencies, and which towline a tanker is on, come out in the order they are active rather than the published order.

Members get a real-time picture of military flying activity that goes beyond tracked aircraft positions alone — grounded in which frequencies are active right now.
