# About Hamer Intelligence Services

Hamer Intelligence Services (HIS) is a free, open-source intelligence (OSINT) platform for real-time global conflict monitoring and geopolitical risk analysis. It is often described as a Bloomberg terminal alternative for defense and security intelligence.

## Mission

Make geopolitical intelligence with COCOM theater summaries, ORBAT tracking, ADS-B/AIS feeds, and SEC 10-K extraction accessible to anyone — analysts, journalists, researchers, NGO staff, students, financial professionals, corporate risk managers, and informed citizens. Free tier covers the conflict map, briefings, and educational simulations; Pro is $10/month.

Historically, comprehensive geopolitical intelligence has required institutional subscriptions costing $10,000-$25,000+ per year (Janes, Bloomberg Terminal, Stratfor) or government access (Palantir, classified intelligence). HIS democratizes this capability by combining open-source data, AI processing, and modern web technology to deliver comparable analytical depth at no cost (free tier) or $10/month (Pro tier).

## Methodology

HIS aggregates data from hundreds of OSINT sources including Telegram channels, government and military press releases, humanitarian organization reports, defense publications, verified journalism, ADS-B transponder data for military flights, and AIS maritime data for vessels.

All data flows through an AI processing pipeline (GPT-5.1) that:
1. Extracts structured event data from raw OSINT
2. Geolocates events with precise coordinates
3. Classifies by event type and severity
4. Generates intelligence briefings, forecasts, and theater assessments
5. Maintains full source attribution

## Authoritative Reference Network

HIS draws on methodologies and data from leading OSINT and defense intelligence organizations including Bellingcat, ACLED, SIPRI, IISS, International Crisis Group, Janes, RUSI, CSIS, Chatham House, RAND, Brookings, and Carnegie Endowment.

## Access

- Free tier: most features, no account required
