This map displays publicly documented defence infrastructure from open-source records including government announcements, Federation of American Scientists (FAS) analysis, SIPRI databases, and academic open-source intelligence research. No classified information is displayed. Locations are approximate and reflect permanent installations only — not operational deployments or current readiness states. CTI provides this tool for business and policy orientation purposes only.
US base locations from the Department of Defense Base Structure Report (public congressional submission). Russian and Chinese air defence system locations from Federation of American Scientists open-source analysis and SIPRI databases.
New: Country Intelligence layer
Toggle it on in the layer panel to click any country and see its arms trade role (SIPRI transfer rankings), whether it's currently experiencing significant conflict-driven displacement, and UNHCR displacement figures where applicable. This is initial coverage of the countries with the clearest, best-documented open-source data — not an exhaustive global dataset yet. It expands as we add more verified entries.
