Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) Radar Data Visualization Software

Abstract

AESA stands for Active Electronically Steered Array based Antenna. In this type of Radar, the antenna is viewed as a two-dimensional array of radiating elements. Number of radiating elements varies from few hundreds to few thousands. Each radiating element is illuminated with an underlying Transmit-Receive Module (TRM). The AESA system is controlled by Radar Controller Software designed with required GUI controls for accepting data from operator. The proposed Radar Data Visualization Software integrates into Radar Controller Software as an independent module. It uses AESA Radar data that is being handled in Radar Controller Software and presents the data to the operator in wide variety of forms including File view, Tree View, Table view, Beam view etc.
