# NIGHTHAWK

> NIGHTHAWK is a defense aerospace intelligence platform that combines military aircraft production forecasts with real-time DELTA global events and AI-powered analysis.

NIGHTHAWK tracks $997 billion in military aircraft production across 181 programs from 38 manufacturers spanning 2015-2039. It streams live DELTA global events filtered to defense-relevant categories and provides AI-powered chat via Google Gemini.

## Capabilities

- Query military aircraft production forecasts (fixed-wing + rotorcraft)
- Stream live DELTA global events (battles, political, economic)
- Ask questions in natural language via Gemini AI
- Generate combined defense briefs (production + live events + capability gaps)
- Identify capability gaps across NATO, China, Russia, and Other blocs
- Market concentration analysis (HHI, CR4, CR8)

## API

Base URL: https://nighthawk-api.ml-nightworx.io

### Endpoints

- GET /feeds/events — Live DELTA events (params: limit, category, country)
- GET /feeds/stories — Clustered news stories
- GET /feeds/entities — People, orgs, locations
- GET /feeds/defense-brief — Combined production + events + gaps
- POST /chat — AI chat via Gemini (params: prompt, model)
- GET /health — Service status

### Authentication

All tiers require an API key. Free tier: 100 req/day.
Pro tier: $49/mo (10,000 req/day, API key required)
Enterprise tier: $499/mo (unlimited, USDC micropayments)

### Response Format

JSON. Events include: id, title, event_date, category, subcategory, geo (country, region, lat, lon), fatalities, metrics (significance, severity_tier, confidence).

## Data Sources

1. HAWK1 Military Aircraft Production Forecast (97 programs, $997B, 2015-2039)
2. Teal Group 1641 Rotorcraft Forecast (84 programs, 2025-2034)
3. DELTA Cloud API v2 (real-time, 13 categories, 45 tools)
4. Google Gemini API (2.5 Flash / 2.5 Pro)

## Key Findings

- NATO commands 80.8% of global market ($805B)
- F-35 = 26.8% of entire global market
- Lockheed Martin = 34.3% market share (HHI = 1,714)
- B-21 is the only strategic bomber program globally (China: zero, Russia: zero)
- Electronic Attack capability: zero post-2023
- All blocs declining: NATO -62%, China -48%, Russia -21% (2025-2039)
- UCAV disruption: $40B+ value shift risk by 2035

## Limitations

- Dataset captures 4.5-gen sunset era only
- Missing: J-20, Su-57 serial, PAK DA, NGAD, GCAP, UCAV programs
- Estimated $250-400B hidden value not in forecast
- Valid through 2028 (post-2028 projections are lower bounds)
