AMVR stands for Airfield Magaer's Virtual Radar, receiving both Flarm as well as ADS-B targets. It is primarily aimed at gathering information about air traffic for the airfield manager on the ground. Also, some more information is gathered, with the wind measure as the most important one. Most effort was spent for realizing true network-independent operation. However, network ressources are integrated as well.
From the beginning, the project was aimed at a fully functional radar receiver in mobile operation. So one could use the receiver part as a situation awareness tool in flight with outstanding performance compared to true Flarm devices.
On the ground one might set up an AMVR without local receivers, pulling data from remote receivers or the OGN servers as well. To start with reading, consult page Requirements
To the right you find articles to all subprojects underlying the AMVR's components. Underneath you find a collection of related projects and software sources, with VFR-B as the heart of the system.

A screenshot of the AMVR Basic. It is XCSoar 7preview configured to show no terrain, no topography, just airspaces. The wind arrow on the map as well as the values to the right are measures from a local wind probe, outputting NMEA sentences. The own position in midst of the map is derived from a statically input position. The blue arrows depict Flarm as well as ADS-B targets. All of them are received, decoded and processed by SDR receivers and VFR-B. The UTC is fed by a local GPS receiver or remote NTP servers.
