Watch a 29-minute conference talk exploring the winning project of the 2024 APL Forge competition - a Radar Ingest System for processing aviation surveillance data. Learn about Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology that enables aircraft to broadcast their position and status via radio signals, and discover how multiple ground antennas can capture and transmit this data to a central server. Follow along as the developer demonstrates the system's capabilities in connecting multiple antennas, processing real-time aircraft data, and distributing information through a web API. Gain insights into the technical implementation, including database message ingestion, Dyalog tools utilization, and future development plans. Access supplementary materials including presentation slides, demonstration videos, and the complete project source code on GitHub to dive deeper into this innovative aviation tracking solution.
