FreeScopes Basic I
FreeScopes Basic I is the foundation module of the SkyRadar FreeScopes environment. It introduces radar control, radar displays and first digital signal-processing steps in a browser-based workspace. Trainees work with live radar data, simulated scenarios or recorded measurements and observe how raw echoes become usable radar information.
For defence academies, civil aviation training organisations and engineering laboratories.
See how trainees compare raw radar data with a moving-target indication processing result and observe the effect on the PPI display.
Typical laboratory exercises are often performed in the 0–10 m range. This is not the system limit: with the NextGen 8 GHz Pulse Radar, measurements beyond 20 m and range resolution better than 11 cm are supported, depending on setup.
Radar training often separates theory from the signal-processing chain that makes radar behaviour visible. FreeScopes Basic I closes this gap. Trainees manipulate the signal path directly and observe how range, clutter, thresholds, filtering and target movement affect the display.
Basic I → Basic II-VII → ATC / ECCM / AI / SkySim
Basic I provides the entry point, Basic II–VII form the broader foundational progression, and the specialised product families build beyond that foundation.
After working with FreeScopes Basic I, trainees understand how radar returns are acquired, displayed and processed. They can interpret basic radar scopes, build first processing chains, and explain how filtering, thresholding, clutter, range measurement and target movement influence radar displays.
Available. Extends Basic I into two-dimensional and matrix-oriented radar processing, including Doppler-related visualisation, RCS experiments, spectrograms, windowing, heatmaps and 3D visualisation.
Planned module. Builds time- and frequency-domain foundations covering sampling, modulation, filtering, quantisation and noise for CNS, radar and military-radar training contexts.
Planned module. Introduces RF, antennas and propagation through gain, polarisation, impedance, S-parameters, attenuation, link budgets and multipath.
Planned module. Explores the surveillance chain from RF signals through ADS-B and Mode A/C/S concepts to decoded messages, tracks, ASTERIX, network transport and latency.
Planned module. Covers analog and digital voice, RF and IP-based communication, VoIP, SIP/RTP concepts, latency, jitter, packet loss, interference and signal-quality analysis.
Planned module. Introduces GNSS, 1PPS, NTP/PTP synchronisation, ILS, VOR/DVOR and DME principles together with timing drift and integrity.
Start with the foundation module for practical radar signal-processing training.
