Abstract

The RADAR pipeline is a modular radio astronomy analysis framework designed to reduce large-scale interferometric datasets from the VLA and MeerKAT into a refined set of candidate technosignature signals through the systematic identification and removal of radio-frequency interference (RFI). The pipeline is organized into independent analysis notebooks, allowing users to adapt individual stages of the workflow to their own observational data and science goals. Required packages for each notebook are imported within the corresponding files and may be installed independently as needed. Function calls and parameter settings are intended to be user-configurable, enabling optimization for different datasets, observing strategies, and telescope characteristics. The modular structure of RADAR is designed to encourage extension and customization, and users are encouraged to develop additional analysis tools and processing methods to further enhance the pipeline's capabilities. This release provides the core framework for scalable technosignature candidate analysis while remaining flexible for broader radio transient and signal-processing applications.
