For those interested there is an open source radar based phased array project here: https://github.com/NawfalMotii79/PLFM_RADAR https://github.com/NawfalMotii79/PLFM_RADAR I may have even discovered it from hacker news, I forget now.

I remember seeing this on HN when it was first submitted. I honestly think that project is either a scam, an elaborate hoax, a cover for a Chinese company selling radar systems or a three-letter-agency honeypot. The files [1], [2], [3] on Github (once featured on README and on some articles) depict what I presume is a Chinese built radar which you can see here [4], [5]. I also suspect this might be a honeypot since Instagram - of all places - is full of accounts offering these radars [6], [7]. Some of the contributors on that projects are heavily leaning into AI. Git project history is suspicious. Discussions on the issues seem very artificial. I remember having bunch of notes on this project, but can't find it now. Just looking at it from outside, nothing about it seems real.

  While you may be correct in some of these assumptions, the repo is open source, contains actual schematics and code, appears to have real community contributions, and also happens to exists now, which is something that can't be said for the original post this was a response to. I was hoping to just provide some reference to existing work that I found interesting since it is what I think is a much more traditional type of detection system.
