This repository contains the source code for ANTARES, a comprehensive naval radar simulation system designed to meet the operational needs of maritime security and training for the Colombian Navy. The system combines cutting-edge technology with modular and extensible architecture, providing a robust solution for naval simulation, real-time visualization, and tactical evaluation.
The project is aimed at developing an advanced naval radar simulator, capable of real-time detection, monitoring, and tracking of vessels in a simulated maritime environment. It supports realistic training, mission planning, and operational readiness, enhancing the Colombian Navy's capabilities and positioning it as a regional leader in naval technology.
- To design and implement a radar simulation system for generating and visualizing real-time data on vessel positions and movements in a simulated naval setting.
The repository is divided into three major components, each with its own dedicated subdirectory and README file for further details:
- Implements the radar simulation engine, responsible for generating radar data in real-time.
- Developed in Rust, prioritizing:
- High performance.
- Security and low-level control.
- Configurability via TOML configuration files.
- Real-time data is transmitted using TCP sockets.
- Modular design supports extensibility for new features such as movement patterns, physical conditions, and custom tracking algorithms.
Instructions to Run:
cd naval-radar-simulator
cargo run -- <config-file>Replace <config-file> with the path to the desired TOML configuration file. Further setup instructions can be found in the subdirectory's README.
- A React-based user interface for visualizing radar data.
- Features include:
- Real-time radar display with panning and zoom functionality.
- Chat and control interface for interacting with the radar simulation.
- Communication with the radar engine using WebSockets.
Instructions to Run:
cd naval-radar-web-ui
npm install
npm startOpen the interface in your browser at http://localhost:5173. Detailed information is available in the subdirectory's README.
- Handles WebSocket connections between the web UI and radar simulation engine.
- Ensures secure and optimized data transfer.
- Configured to work seamlessly with both the simulation and web UI components.
Instructions to Run:
cd naval-radar-reverse-proxy
npm install
npm startConfiguration details can be found in the subdirectory's README.
