Drone simulator SkyRF® Generator

for research and developmentFlight Training Device

Overview
The SkyRF® Generator is an RPAS-based RF target and scenario generator designed to produce airborne virtual targets for IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) and Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) testing and certification. It enables on-altitude target generation and scenario simulation, reducing dependence on complex ground-based setups and offering flexible test configurations for CNS (Communication, Navigation, Surveillance) measurements.

Key features

• On-altitude target generation and scenario simulation via RPAS
• SSR simulation in Modes 1, 2, 3/A and C with transponder and interrogator functions
• Optional transponder module supporting Mode S and Mode 5
• Designed to support IFF certification in line with AIMS (Mode 5)
• Configurable 360° dynamic target for PSR sensor alignment
• Adjustable radar cross section (RCS), Doppler shift and range
• Missile and ballistic-trajectory target simulation with configurable velocity, Doppler and RCS
• RF-level signal transmission enabling radars to detect and track virtual targets

Applications

• IFF system certification and Mode 5 / AIMS-compliant testing
• PSR sensor alignment and verification (runway/touchdown assessments)
• Combat Management System testing and validation
• Counter-battery and missile defense radar testing using simulated ballistic trajectories

Technical capabilities (summary)

• SSR Modes supported: 1, 2, 3/A, C (transponder and interrogator)
