SkyRadar develops and manufactures radar hardware and simulators, dedicated to training and education purposes. The European consortium was founded in 2008 by the physicist Eric Moskwa and the IT engineer Ulrich Scholten. SkyRadar supplies training radars to aviation academies as well as universities. The consortium also operatates an extensive knowledge portal, providing e-Learning and academic publications.
History
SkyRadar started in 2008 with the objective to make fully operational radar systems suitable for training and education purposes, responding to technical, budgetary and pedagogical requirements. The founders experimented on close-range and low radiation radars. The first operational radars were produced in October 2008, including A-Scope and B-Scope functionality. PPI-scope functionality was added in 2009, as well as main filter functions like STC. To reduce costs and to gain more scope of manoeuvre for pedagogical optimization, the team decoupled radars and scopes. In the solutions from 2013 onwards, low radation radars send Q/I signals as message to browser enabled scopes, allowing students to operate scopes, filters or ampliers independently. Since 2014, a message-queue based server allows to connect high numbers of conncurrent users. Following their strategy of cost reduction, SkyRadar distributes their radar visualisation software free of charge.
