Surveillance (SUR) is the backbone of modern Air Traffic Control (ATC), providing real-time situational awareness to controllers. It includes Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR), Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR), ADS-B, and multilateration (MLAT). These technologies ensure safe airspace management by tracking aircraft positions, verifying identification, and maintaining operational efficiency.

Aviation academies and universities require advanced educational tools to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in communication systems, radar technologies, and signal processing. SkyRadar’s FreeScopes Basic III and IV provide a comprehensive learning platform that enables students to engage with key principles of primary and secondary radar, signal modulation, and antenna theory, supporting both academic curricula and qualification programs such as ICAO Doc 10057 and EC 2017/373.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Air Traffic Management (ATM) is rapidly transforming the way airspace is monitored, optimized, and secured. However, for AI to be effectively implemented in ATC (Air Traffic Control) and ATSEP (Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel) operations, a centralized data and cloud architecture is essential. Without a scalable infrastructure, AI-driven solutions such as real-time traffic prediction, automated conflict resolution, and advanced system monitoring cannot operate with the required speed, reliability, and interoperability.

Radar technology plays a critical role in air traffic control (ATC) and military operations, ensuring safety, efficiency, and strategic decision-making. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into radar systems is transforming these fields, offering enhanced capabilities in target detection, classification, and localization—even under challenging conditions such as electronic interference. This article summarizes the key advancements demonstrated in our forthcoming series of articles and videos, emphasizing their relevance to Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) and military radar officers.

Learn how SkyRadar tools meet ICAO Doc 10057's ATSEP Surveillance Qualification Training requirements with hands-on learning for taxonomy levels 3 and 4.

This article explores ATSEP Surveillance Qualification Training under ICAO Doc 10057, emphasizing hands-on learning with SkyRadar's advanced tools.

This article describes how ICAO Doc 10057 emphasizes hands-on qualification training for ATSEP and how SkyRadar meets these standards with tailored solutions.

Rating training is a critical phase in the professional development of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP). It represents the specialized training required to ensure personnel are competent to manage specific systems or equipment in their operational environment. This stage of training bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on expertise, enabling ATSEP personnel to perform their roles effectively and safely within complex air traffic management (ATM) systems.

SkyRadar's NextGen radar reaches a remarkable maximum range exceeding 20 meters—all while operating with a beaming power below 5 mW, making it completely safe for human exposure.
