One of the unique features of SkySim is its ability to integrate real-world radar data with simulations, providing an unparalleled training experience. This capability allows users to practice using actual radar signals in a controlled, simulated environment, offering the benefits of live data without the risks and complexities associated with real-world radar operations. This feature is particularly valuable in both civil aviation and defense settings, where radar operators must be able to transition smoothly from training to real-world operations.

Radar clutter is a significant challenge in radar systems, particularly when attempting to detect legitimate targets in environments filled with unwanted reflections. Clutter comes from objects like buildings, trees, mountains, or even the sea surface, all of which can produce strong radar returns that obscure the objects radar operators actually want to track, such as aircraft or ships. The ability to suppress this clutter is critical for effective radar operation, especially in civil aviation and maritime surveillance.

Radar systems rely on transmitting pulses of electromagnetic energy and receiving the reflections from targets to determine their location and movement. Two critical parameters in this process are Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) and range resolution.

This article describes how to insure compliance with ICAO Doc 10057 by integrating SkyRadar’s hands-on ATSEP Surveillance Qualification tools for Levels 3, 4, and 5.

This article describes how FreeScopes Basic III and IV enhance ATSEP training across Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance for Levels 2–5 in ICAO taxonomy.

In today's video, we demonstrate how to create plots and tracks using FreeScopes.

Radar systems can be broadly categorized into two types: coherent and non-coherent. The key difference between these two systems lies in how they process the returning radar signals.

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

Tracking moving objects is one of the core functions of radar systems, particularly in applications like air traffic control (ATC) where detecting and following aircraft is vital for safety.
