Radar Simulation Project

Description

This project is a Python-based radar simulation that visualizes the operation of a sweeping radar system. It demonstrates the principles of radar detection, target tracking, and blip visualization in a dynamic, real-time environment. Implements realistic physics-based radar simulation with realistic target movement and detection.

Features

• Realistic radar sweep simulation
• Dynamic target movement and detection
• Real-time blip updates based on radar sweeps
• Customizable radar and target parameters
• Visual representation of radar range, angles, and detected targets

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Pygame library

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SomshuvraBasu/RadarSim
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install pygame
   

Usage

Run the main simulation script:

python simulation.py

File Structure

• simulation.py: Main script to run the radar simulation
• radar.py: Contains the Radar class with core radar functionality
• objects.py: Defines target objects like Aircraft and Ship

Customization

You can adjust various parameters in the simulation:

• In radar.py: Modify radar properties like range, beam width, and sweep speed
• In objects.py: Adjust target properties such as speed, heading, and RCS
• In simulation.py: Change the number of targets or simulation window size

Contributing

Contributions to improve the simulation or add new features are welcome. Please fork the repository and create a pull request with your changes.
