## What it is
AERIS-10 is an open-source, low-cost 10.5 GHz pulse linear frequency modulated (PLFM) phased array radar system with full schematics, PCB layouts, FPGA firmware, and Python software. It comes in two variants (3km and 20km range) and supports electronic beam steering, pulse compression, Doppler processing, and target tracking.

## Use cases
- build a low-cost phased array radar for research
- experiment with beamforming and pulse compression
- add radar sensing to a drone project
- learn radar signal processing like Doppler FFT and CFAR
- prototype SDR-based radar experiments
- track targets with an open-source radar platform

## When to choose
- you want a fully open, hackable radar hardware and software platform
- you need electronic beam steering with FPGA-based signal processing on a budget
- you are a researcher or maker exploring phased array radar technology

## When to avoid
- you need a certified, production-ready commercial radar product
- you require regulatory approval or guaranteed range performance
- you only need simple ultrasonic or lidar proximity sensing

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: simulation, embedded, data-visualization
- domain: hardware, robotics, simulation, developer-tools
- platform: python, embedded, cross-platform
- tags: radar, phased-array, beamforming, fpga, sdr, open-source-hardware, doppler-processing, target-tracking, 10ghz, drone-sensing, signal-processing
