Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) is a flight surveillance facility whose function is to monitor and supervise aircraft movement activities in the air.This guide aims to: 1) design a radar that collects aircraft information, 2) create a tool that can be useful for cadets learning at the Makassar Aviation Polytechnic campus.The research method used is the waterfall method.The waterfall method used in this study is a method that involves the stages of needs analysis, design, development, testing, and implementation of the Secondary Surveillance Radar which aims as a learning medium whose working principles are following the actual equipment.The results of this study produced 2 tools, namely an aircraft that provides aircraft identification using ESP8266 and an ultrasonic sensor to generate aircraft altitude information, while a radar tool generates distance information between the aircraft and the radar using an ultrasonic sensor with a maximum distance of 100cm driven by a stepper motor to obtain angle information.then displayed in the form of an image using a processing application.So the authors made a Microcontroller-based Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) design where this tool can get information according to the actual equipment in the field.
