Antares Web Radar

Overview

Antares Web Radar is an interactive, browser-based radar interface designed to visualize, analyze, and command radar simulations in real time. Built for defense research, operational testing, and prototyping scenarios, it provides a seamless way to observe radar data with minimal setup or installation.

By abstracting complexity and exposing only the necessary controls and data streams, Antares Web Radar empowers engineers, analysts, and decision-makers to focus on the tactical implications of sensor data, not the plumbing behind it.

Key Features

🔍 Live Visualization of Radar Tracks

• Real-time display of moving targets and navigational aids (ATONs) over a configurable radar canvas.
• Automatic detection and consolidation of multiple echoes for the same object.
• Intuitive visualization of range, speed, and bearing for all tracked entities.

🧪 Rapid Experimentation

• Seamlessly issue commands to the simulation engine such as adding vessels or resetting scenarios.
• Built-in interface for configuring ships with different radar signatures, kinematics, and identifiers.
• Designed to support live experiments and training exercises with minimal latency.

🛰️ WebSocket Integration

• Connects to a live radar stream via WebSocket for low-latency data ingestion.
• Decodes structured telemetry modeled after standard radar output formats (e.g. range, bearing, position, velocity).

⚙️ Zero-Install, Full Capability

• Entirely web-based: just open the browser and connect.
• Configurable via .env settings for controller and radar endpoints.
• No installation or compilation required—works out of the box in any modern web browser.

Use Cases

• Sensor behavior validation: visualize how changes in radar settings or environment affect target tracking.
• Command & control prototyping: simulate real-world scenarios and test control interfaces.
• Training support: provide operators or researchers with an intuitive radar feed for interpretation practice.
• Tactical replay and debrief: re-run scenarios and observe how the system behaved under various configurations.
