Real-Time Data and Distributed Simulation

STK's Real-Time Tracking Technology (RT3) capability works with live and simulated data feeds by providing integrated tools to filter tracks, define events and alerts, and archive live data for playback. RT3 is provided as an extension to STK and as a software development kit (SDK).

  • The RT3 Extension is an off-the-shelf solution for displaying and analyzing live and simulated data feeds in STK and STK Viewer. It includes a user interface with that provides you with the ability to integrate data feeds, filter tracks using queries, and define events and alerts.
  • The RT3 Software Development Kit (SDK) includes an application programming interface (API), documentation, and set of sample code files. You can use the RT3 SDK to enhance the RT3 Extension with custom data feed interfaces, specialized data processing, and preconfigured display settings. You can also use the RT3 SDK to display and analyze data feeds in legacy software and new applications, including those built with the STK Engine and class libraries from STK Components. You need a Premium or Enterprise license to use RT3 functionality in custom applications. Refer to the topic Enhancing the RT3 Extension in the STK Programming Interface Help for information.
