ASTERIX data

ASTERIX is a protocol for radar data exchange, MaCySTe can generate it according to its standard profile (UAP).

In the default configuration MaCySTe will send ASTERIX video to address 239.0.1.2 on port 8600

For more details on the protocol structure we refer the interested reader to section 2.E of Attacking (and defending) the Maritime Radar System

As with NMEA, ASTERIX can be listened to and dissected with Wireshark.
