The operator interface now uses that name. The radar design, parts list, and simulation sit in separate directories, and the earlier simulator and project license are removed. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

# AERIS-10
|

|
||
10.5 GHz pulse linear-FM phased-array radar, with Overwatch beside the hardware design.

## Radar
|
||
|
||
Two builds share the signal chain.
|
||
|
||
- **AERIS-10N**, about 3 km, 8×16 patch array.
|
||
- **AERIS-10X**, about 20 km, 32×16 dielectric-filled slotted waveguide, plus a 10 W QPA2962 stage on each of 16 amplifier boards.
|
||
|
||
The array steers elevation electronically over ±45°. Azimuth on the prototype is a stepper. Carrier is 10.5 GHz. The FPGA does chirp generation, pulse compression, Doppler, MTI, and CFAR. An STM32 sequences power, clocks, phase shifters, and the GPS/IMU.

## Overwatch
|
||
|
||
From the repository root:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd simulation
|
||
python -m pip install -e '.[server,dev,flight,performance]'
|
||
python -m defense_sim.cli --steps 500 --seed 7
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The earlier simulator, the standalone scripts and the single-page viewer that used to sit in the repository root, has been removed.
