SkyRadar CloudServer - Overview | SkyRadar

SkyRadar CloudServer

SkyRadar CloudServer provides centralized browser-based access to SkyRadar training applications for classroom and multi-user environments. It is used where the number of concurrent users or the training architecture requires a dedicated central service.

For smaller setups, supported SkyRadar applications such as NextGen and SkySim may be used directly without a separate CloudServer. Larger classroom installations can use CloudServer to provide a common server-side training infrastructure.

Designed for universities, defence academies, ATSEP training centres, radar laboratories and technical training organisations running multi-user training environments.

Training Advantages

Multi-User Training — Support larger classroom environments with concurrent browser access.
Browser-Based Access — Give trainees access to supported SkyRadar training applications through standard browser connections.
Central Training Infrastructure — Provide a shared server-side platform for classroom deployments.
Local and Offline Deployment — Operate on controlled training networks where Internet-independent use is required and supported by the delivery.
Dedicated Software Role — Run CloudServer as a separate software role, normally on its own SkyRadar Server Module.
Scalable Architecture — Keep small installations simple and add centralized infrastructure for larger training groups.

Central Infrastructure for Shared Radar Training

SkyRadar CloudServer provides browser-accessible server-side infrastructure for classroom and multi-user radar training. It connects supported SkyRadar applications and training data with trainee browsers through a shared central service.

For small training setups, supported SkyRadar applications such as NextGen and SkySim can typically be used directly. CloudServer is introduced when larger concurrent classroom access or centralized training services are required.

What Trainees and Instructors Use It For

Access supported SkyRadar training applications through a browser
Work concurrently in classroom environments
Connect to centrally hosted training services
Access radar or simulated training data where the delivered architecture supports it
Conduct laboratory or remote-classroom exercises on shared infrastructure

Main Product Scope

Browser-Based Training Access

HTTP, HTTPS and WebSocket connectivity
Browser-based access to supported SkyRadar training applications
Classroom and multi-user training architecture
MsgPack serialization in the documented browser data flow

Central Server-Side Infrastructure

Shared training services
Scaling for larger classroom deployments
Separation from individual trainee computers
Dedicated CloudServer software role

Integration into SkyRadar Training Systems

Interaction with supported FreeScopes and SkySim environments
Dedicated SkyRadar Server Module where required by the delivered architecture
Local training-network and offline deployment
LMS connection only where explicitly supported by the delivery

Where It Fits

Radar or SkySim data sources → CloudServer → browser-based trainee access

CloudServer software → dedicated SkyRadar Server Module hardware

Small configurations with approximately up to five users may operate supported NextGen or SkySim applications directly without a separate CloudServer. Larger classroom environments generally use CloudServer for centralized services and concurrent browser access. This is architecture guidance, not a fixed licensing limit.

SkySim and CloudServer are normally installed on separate dedicated Server Modules of the same hardware type.

Prerequisites

Compatible SkyRadar training environment
Network connectivity for browser access
Browser-capable trainee computers
Dedicated SkyRadar Server Module where required by the delivered architecture
CloudServer software and licence according to the commercial scope

Who It Is For

Universities and applied radar programmes
Defence academies
ATSEP training centres
Radar laboratories
Technical training organisations
Instructors running multi-user training environments

Learning and Deployment Outcomes

After working in a CloudServer-supported environment, trainees and instructors can access supported SkyRadar applications through a shared browser-based infrastructure, distinguish centralized software services from the dedicated Server Module hardware, and select an appropriate direct or centralized training architecture for different classroom sizes.
