ARXEON Dynamics

An open-source 10.5 GHz phased-array radar and the operator GUI that commands it — electronic beam steering, MTI and CFAR target tracking, and live FPGA signal processing. Built as the foundation for the first defense and intelligence technology company in Iraq.

The System

AERIS-10 is a fully open-source, modular, and hackable 10.5 GHz phased-array radar. The GUI is the layer that bridges complex RF hardware and the operator — turning raw analog echoes, processed through the hardware stack, into real-time visualization, tracking, and system control.

GUI CAPABILITIES
01 · SURVEILLANCE MAP VIEW

Georeferenced targets on a live map.

Fuses GPS (UM982) and IMU (GY-85) data to correct target coordinates for platform pitch and roll, then plots multiple tracks on an interactive map using moving-target-indication (MTI) and constant-false-alarm-rate (CFAR) detection.

02 · CONTROL & BEAM STEERING

Steer the array without moving it.

Interactive controls drive the STM32 and FPGA to perform electronic beam steering of ±45° in both elevation and azimuth via ADAR1000 phase shifters, with mechanical scanning available through stepper motors.

03 · SIGNAL PROCESSING VISUALIZERS

See the raw physics in real time.

Live plots for Doppler FFT processing and LFM chirp waveforms, rendered straight from the FPGA’s I/Q baseband down-conversion and pulse-compression stages — the actual signal, not a simulation.

04 · TELEMETRY & THERMAL

Keep the array inside its envelope.

Continuous readings from the array’s temperature sensors trigger the cooling subsystem when needed, alongside positional telemetry — so the operator always knows the physical state of the hardware.

HARDWARE → GUI DATA FLOW

From a chirp to a track, in one pass.

The software control layer integrates directly with the physical array, visualizing raw analog signals after they move through the hardware stack — amplified, phase-shifted, digitized, and compressed.

1

Pulse Generation

The GUI sets parameters — center frequency, chirp duration — and sends them to the STM32, which commands the DAC to generate the PLFM chirps.

2

Transmission & Reception

Chirps are amplified and steered by the phased array. Echoes returning from targets are captured, phase-shifted, and mixed down to an intermediate frequency.

3

Heavy Lifting on the FPGA

The FPGA processes the raw ADC data, performing the computationally expensive work — Forward FFT, pulse compression, and Doppler processing — to separate stationary clutter from moving targets.

4

Visualization

Processed detections — range, velocity, angle — are streamed over high-speed USB to the Python application, where they are mapped and plotted instantly for the operator.

THE VISION

The first defense and intelligence technology company in Iraq.

AERIS-10 is the opening move — sovereign, open-source radar built from commodity parts and a Python control plane, proving that serious sensing and signal-processing capability can be designed and owned locally.
