About Cuba Radar

Cuba Radar tracks political, social, and critical infrastructure events in Cuba in real time, using independent media and open data sources. Our goal is to provide visibility into what is happening on the island with verifiable, up-to-date data.

What does OSINT mean?

OSINT (open-source intelligence) is intelligence from open, public sources. Cuba Radar builds each event from verifiable articles and data, with sources cited.

What does Cuba Radar do?

It aggregates, structures, and geolocates protests, arrests, outages, and internet disruptions so you can explore by province, type, and time. The goal is clarity and traceability, not opinion.

How often is it updated?

The pipeline runs every 30 minutes. It re-reads sources, deduplicates, and refreshes electricity (UNE) and internet (Cloudflare Radar).

How does it work?

Our automated pipeline scans news sources, RSS feeds, and social media every 30 minutes. Artificial intelligence extracts, classifies, and geolocates each event. Results are displayed on the interactive map in real time.

Ingestion pipeline, automated extraction, geocoding, deduplication and verification. Methodology.

Sources and attribution

Cuba Radar is OSINT (open-source intelligence): it prioritizes open, traceable sources. For each event we try to list relevant sources. If you reuse the data, please attribute Cuba Radar and link to the event and the original source when possible.

Limitations

Because we rely on public sources, errors, duplicates, or later corrections can occur. Cuba Radar does not guarantee full coverage or absolute real-time accuracy, but it does commit to transparency and continuous improvement.
