Introduction In modern defense and aerospace systems, radar-based track detection plays a critical role in situational awareness and threat assessment. Using Analytical Graphics Inc. (AGI) STK DME components, developers can simulate realistic radar sensors, model target motion, and compute detections based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), field of view (FOV), and radar cross-section (RCS). This post […]

In modern desktop applications, embedding a web interface within a native UI has become increasingly popular. Microsoft’s Edge WebView2 allows developers to host modern, standards-compliant web content inside native Windows applications — offering the power of HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript within a Qt-based C++ app. In this post, we’ll walk through how to link WebView2

Introduction In real-time 3D visualization systems such as air traffic, maritime tracking, or defense simulations, it’s essential to view detailed information about each moving target.CesiumJS, a powerful open-source 3D globe engine, makes this possible through its viewer.selectedEntityChanged event — allowing you to show track details when a user clicks on an entity. In this post,

Introduction In real-time geospatial or simulation applications—such as radar tracking, flight monitoring, or vehicle movement visualization—it’s often helpful to show not only the object’s current position but also its heading direction and speed. This is typically done using a heading vector (also known as a velocity vector or direction line). A heading vector provides an

When building a geospatial application, one of the most common tasks is to display moving objects such as aircraft, ships, or vehicles on a 3D globe. In CesiumJS, you can visualize these tracks using either 2D billboards (icons) or 3D models (glTF/GLB). This article will walk you through both approaches with working code snippets. Displaying

In today’s world, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are the backbone of decision-making across defense, urban planning, agriculture, disaster management, and infrastructure development. Traditionally, India has relied heavily on foreign GIS platforms, many of which are powerful but come with limitations such as high licensing costs, dependency on external vendors, and restricted scope for customization. With
How Indigenous GIS Solutions Can Empower India’s Growth Read More »
India is increasingly emphasizing indigenous technology development, encouraging homegrown solutions across sectors. In the geospatial domain, PrithviGIS, developed by Manya Technologies, stands out as a fully indigenous GIS application built on the robust QGIS platform. PrithviGIS offers a wide range of features tailored to India’s local needs, including real-time radar track display, 3D visualization, vector

When working with STK Engine you often need more than just creating aircraft and running a predefined simulation — you may want interactive runtime control. For example, nudging an aircraft left, right, up, or down during animation. In this post, we’ll walk through a minimal example using Python + Tkinter that does exactly that: We’ll

Systems Tool Kit (STK) is widely used for modeling, simulating, and visualizing aerospace and defense scenarios. With STK Engine, you can embed STK’s 2D/3D visualization inside your own applications and fully control it programmatically. In this blog, we’ll see how to: Prerequisites Python Code Below is a simplified example. It creates 5 aircraft with random

When building custom GIS applications using the QGIS API and Qt, it’s often useful to show the current mouse coordinates on the map canvas. A common place to display this information is in the status bar. In this post, we’ll look at a minimal example of how to connect the QGIS map canvas (QgsMapCanvas) to
