Radar systems face various threats from electronic warfare (EW), with radar jamming being one of the most effective ways to disrupt their performance. Through techniques like barrage jamming, spot jamming, and deception jamming, adversaries can compromise the radar’s ability to detect and track targets. SkySim’s EW Extension provides an advanced simulation platform where users can explore these jamming techniques and learn how to counter them with electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), supported by FreeScopes Disturbance Filtering & Analysis.

Mastering the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in radar technology is becoming an essential skill for Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) and military radar operators. By understanding the intricacies of AI-driven radar systems, trainees can develop the expertise needed to enhance target detection, localization, and classification—key components of modern air traffic management and defense strategies. The FreeScopes platform offers a unique, hands-on approach to achieving these learning outcomes through its sophisticated model architecture, which we will outline in this article.

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.

Training in electronic warfare and radar technology has evolved significantly. For military academies and defense institutions, the ability to combine live radar systems, digital signal processing, and advanced countermeasure algorithms within a single, integrated environment is crucial. SkyRadar’s open and flexible training solutions offer just that, enabling a seamless blend of simulation and live experimentation. This approach not only provides a comprehensive pathway from basic training to advanced research but also supports concurrent learning, distance education, and the integration of emerging technologies like AI. This article explores how SkyRadar’s solutions are redefining defense training and education, providing the tools needed to prepare military personnel for the challenges of modern electronic warfare.

The SASP Deception Detect is a feature in Electronic Warfare. It is implemented in the SkyRadar FreeScopes Training Suite, developed by SkyRadar, building on the foundation of the Enhanced Kalman Disturbance Filter (EKDF). 

The following video explores the Doppler Phase Shift Enhanced Disturbance Filter, a sophisticated approach designed to improve radar accuracy and effectively detect jamming.

On April 17-18, I had the privilege of attending a bi-national sector conference focused on addressing security and defense challenges related to space. The event was of significant national importance, underscored by the esteemed presence of Their Royal Highnesses Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg (front left in the photo), King Philippe of Belgium (front middle), as well as the Luxembourgish and Belgian Ministers of Defense.
