SkyRF® Generator

Complex Scenario Generation for IFF and PSR

The SkyRF® Generator offers advanced capabilities for complex scenario generation in both IFF and Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) domains. It is a specialized configuration of SkyRF®, the widely adopted RPAS-based solution for CNS (Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance) measurements.

By enabling target generation and scenario simulation at altitude, the SkyRF® Generator introduces more efficient and flexible methods for IFF system certification, sensor alignment, and Combat Management System testing, reducing the need for costly and logistically demanding ground-based setups.

iff / aims certification

The SkyRF® Generator can simulate radar targets for secondary surveillance
radar (SSR) in Modes 1, 2, 3/A, and C, supporting both transponder and interrogator
functions.

Additionally, a transponder module can be mounted to enable simulation of
advanced modes like Mode S and Mode 5.

The Mode 5 simulation capability is
designed to support IFF system certification in accordance with AIMS standards,
making the SkyRF Generator a valuable tool for testing and validating compliant
systems.

PSR sensor alignment

Many airfields equipped with Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) rely on active reflectors to confirm accurate alignment of radar video with key reference points such as touchdown zones and runway intersections.

To remain visible on the controller’s display, these stationary targets must generate a Doppler shift, otherwise, they risk being suppressed as clutter by MTI or MTD processing.

The SkyRF® Generator provides a dynamic 360° target with configurable parameters for Doppler shift, radar cross section (RCS), and distance, making it an ideal tool for precise PSR
alignment and system validation.

missile generation

Testing Combat Management Systems like Counter Battery and Missile Defense radars is often complex and expensive, typically requiring live ammunition and secure test ranges.

The SkyRF® Generator provides a cost-effective alternative by simulating targets with configurable parameters such as radar cross section (RCS), Doppler shift, and velocity along realistic ballistic trajectories.

Transmitted at RF level, these signals allow radars to detect and track virtual targets, enabling accurate performance evaluation and validation without the challenges of live testing.
