Instead of being out at airports for the sake of testing radar data in Visual Docking Guiding System, one could use emulated radar data to function as real radar data. In this thesis, real radar data processed into binary files are, observed and dissembled to use reverse engineering and in such a way emulate similar binary files. The same software used on real radar data binary files is used to process the emulated ones to detect an object at a certain distance. Using reverse engineering could not on its own result in an emulated radar data binary file. Finally trial and error resulted in a file which gave object detection at a distance of above 21 meters as targeted in this thesis. Furthermore, as future work might be found by targeting other and further distances.

Reverse engineering is the technique of gathering scientific knowledge about a part by physically examining it. In the computer aided manufacturing world this is referred to as Part to CAD conversion, where the geometry of physical objects are being captured as Digital 3-D CAD Data. This is vital not only to produce drawing of parts for which no CAD data exists, but also is frequently being used to produce better designs. The industry professionals to achieve this are frequently using Coordinate Measuring Machine [CMM] among other tools. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the versatility of portable CMM as a Reverse Engineering Tool through application experiments aimed at industrial and non-industrial solutions. The thesis also researches in to the feasibility of customization options through experimentations focused on reverse engineering. Focusing further on Reverse Engineering applications, some of the interesting digitizing and CAD techniques are demonstrated and compared.
