Abstract

We overview the software architecture for a network of low-powered radars (sensors) that collaboratively and adaptively sense the lowest few kilometers of the earth's atmosphere. We focus on the system's main control loop -- ingesting data from remote radars, identifying meteorological features in this data, and determining each radar's future scan strategy based on detected features and end-user requirements. Our initial benchmarks show that that these components generally have sub-second execution times, making them well-suited for our NetRad system.
