As electronic warfare (EW) becomes increasingly central to modern defense strategies, military academies and training centers must equip their students with the skills to defend critical systems against sophisticated electronic attacks. SkyRadar’s FreeScopes ATC Disturbance Filtering and Analysis I is specifically designed to meet this need, offering an advanced suite of tools to detect and counter various forms of radar jamming and deception. This software extension is targeted at military training institutions focused on developing proficiency in electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) for air traffic control (ATC) systems.

As global air traffic continues to increase, the complexity of managing airspace grows more challenging. To address these complexities, Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems are turning to emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and cybersecurity to maintain safety and efficiency. Integrating these technologies is not just an opportunity—it is a necessity. This article provides an introduction to how AI, supported by robust cloud architecture and underpinned by strong cybersecurity measures, can transform ATC into a more scalable and secure system while ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations.

The cyber security industry is filled with many great options for intrusion detection and prevention solutions for your perimeter. However, there are only a small number of tried-and-true platforms that have become ubiquitous and used as a foundation for other newer platforms. One of the most prominent open-source solutions is Snort. With Snort installed in the environment at the perimeter, a security team can not only forensically see what took place on the network, but also see how it happened. For the purpose of this article, we are going to focus on Snort for intrusion detection analysis. We will be walking through common scenarios that the incident response team will have to investigate from time to time.

SkyRadar offers comprehensive Radar Laboratories designed specifically for Radar Officers and Maintenance Personnel. This article presents a straightforward modular configuration to get started.

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). 

Artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed many industries, including air traffic management. For Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP), AI presents an opportunity to improve daily tasks and processes, boosting efficiency, safety, and reliability. However, this transition necessitates a thoughtful and strategic approach to maintain the integrity of air traffic systems.

ICAO Doc 10057 and EU 2017/373 (EASA Easy Access Rules) explicitly mandate applied learning. Classical Instructor-led training and PowerPoint presentations simply aren't compliant. SkyRadar has a solution.

The 2024 Thales Cloud Security Study provides a comprehensive overview of the current trends and challenges in cloud security. This report is relevant for Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel (ATSEP) involved in securing cloud environments. In this article, we present the key findings and offer actionable insights based on the study.

SkyRadar's package for data processing and facilities is continuously growing. Watch the video example showing how to monitor signals and UPS devices with the SNMP protocol. You will also be introduced to simple control tasks. The simulator and DPR package allow to conduct many DPR and SMC exercises, as defined in the EASA Easy Access Rules (EU Regulation 2017/373).
