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.

Modular 24 GHz PSR Extension to the 8 GHz NextGen Pulse Module

In 2021, SkyRadar introduced the NextGen Training Radar Suite. It featured the 8 GHz Pulse radar. Now several extensions are available like a pseudo-noise radar (PSR), or the FMCW. This concept turns the NextGen into a platform, allowing to add virtually any radar, sonar or sensor.
