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 […]

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 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
