Open-Source 10.5 GHz Phased Array RADAR AERIS-10 Released

NawfalMotii79/PLFM_RADAR introduces AERIS-10, a fully open-source, low-cost 10.5 GHz phased array radar system using Pulse Linear Frequency Modulation. The project offers modular hardware and software for beamforming, pulse compression, and Doppler processing, available in 3km and 20km range variants. It targets researchers, drone developers, and SDR enthusiasts seeking to experiment with radar technology.

  • Democratizes phased array radar via open-source hardware and software stack.
  • Supports key signal processing: beamforming, pulse compression, Doppler.
  • Available in two range variants (3km/20km) for diverse experimental needs.
  • Targeted at drone devs and researchers for rapid prototyping and learning.

K-Dense BYOK is an open-source AI research assistant designed to run locally on a researcher's machine, allowing users to supply their own model keys while the tool handles the workflow scaffolding. Unlike general chat agents, it enforces scientific rigor through written procedures, guided templates, and a catalog of data locations. Crucially, it maintains a hash-chained lab notebook to ensure an immutable, verifiable audit trail of all research activities and results.

  • Researchers retain full control by running the assistant locally and supplying their own model access keys.
  • Each project is stored as a standard folder, ensuring long-term readability of data and code without the app.
  • Hash-chained lab notebooks provide an immutable audit trail, distinct from standard chat assistant logs.
  • Built-in scientific scaffolding includes procedural libraries and guided workflow templates for structured research.
  • Open-source design ensures transparency and avoids vendor lock-in for critical research metadata.
