Ulrich Scholten, PhD

Ulrich is cofounder of SkyRadar, taking care of the procedural and software parts. He has been working for the aviation control market since the early 2000s, trying to blend qualification requirements in ATC with modern and scalable technical solutions. Ulrich holds a PhD in information technology and in several patents on modern radars. His research is regularly published in A-rated journals. Ulrich has spoken in 100+ Universities, Academies and Research Centers around the world and is co-editor of several security related blogs with more than 100.000 monthly readers.

From Radar Signature to iSAR: Aircraft Radar Imaging with FreeScopes

From Digital Signals to Electromagnetic Waves: Making Signal Processing and RF Engineering Tangible

How does a digital signal become a measurable electromagnetic transmission? And what happens when noise, filtering, antennas and propagation change its behaviour? FreeScopes Basic III and IV connect these questions in a hands-on engineering laboratory.

How Do You Detect Deception Jamming? From RGPO to AGPO and VGPO in the Radar Lab

Deception jamming does not simply hide a radar target in noise. It tries to make the radar believe something that is not true. Practical ECCM training therefore needs to show trainees how deception appears in radar data — and how it can be recognised.

From CNS Signals to System Competence: Building a Hands-On ATSEP Qualification Laboratory

Modern ATSEP training connects real CNS hardware, radar, simulation and system monitoring so trainees can learn by measuring, processing and troubleshooting.

From a Real Radar Echo to AI: Building a Hands-On Electronic Warfare Learning Chain

Electronic-warfare education becomes more useful when the trainee can follow the complete chain: from a real radar measurement, through a controlled deceptive effect, to ECCM analysis and finally to the question of whether an AI model can recognise and interpret a disturbed radar scene.

Teaching AI with Radar Data: Classifying Objects with FreeScopes AI

Artificial intelligence is often explained with abstract examples: cats and dogs, handwritten digits, or large public image datasets. These examples are useful, but they do not show how AI can be taught in a technical radar environment. In this short video, we demonstrate how FreeScopes AI turns real radar measurements into a practical machine-learning exercise: students collect and label data from three radar targets, train a neural network, and use it to classify the measured objects.

SkyRadar at Eurosatory 2026: Cognitive Radar, ECCM, and EW Training Technologies

Eurosatory 2026, taking place 15–19 June 2026 in Paris, will bring together defence organisations, research institutes, and industry partners working on technologies for sensing, protection, and spectrum operations. Among the key themes shaping modern defence capabilities are cognitive radar, electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), and electronic warfare (EW).
