Aechelon RADAR TOOLKIT® (RTK)

 

The Aechelon Radar Toolkit® (RTK) is a commercial Software Development Kit (SDK) owned by Aechelon Technology, Inc. and developed / supported by our radar division in our Texas facility.

RTK provides an immensely flexible environment for the development of real-time airborne radar simulations for pilot and operator training, as well as mission rehearsal.

It also enables the easy development, deployment and utilization of Machine Learning (ML) radar sets for live Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) use cases in both airborne and space-based platforms. These all combine to detect and identify targets, monitor friendly forces, and provide information about ongoing or imminent threats.

RTK is fully integrated with real-time data served from Aechelon’s Radar Data Generators (RDG), providing worldwide multi-spectral databases at no cost to the customer.
