About the Company

Enhanced Radar is building AI for air traffic control. We train our own state of the art transcript, language, and vision models for airspace understanding. Our data stack is entirely self-managed from building the radio hardware to running data labeling. Our AI is currently deployed alongside radar + ADS-B services for airspace compliance monitoring.

Tech Stack

C++ firmware for radio hardware, Golang core services, Python ML ops (torch, lightning), React + iOS frontend.

We run lots of ML experiments and use AI as much as possible to speed up development, especially on any frontend projects.
