We have recently implemented a Software Radar System as the production data taking and control system for the Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Radar. In a Software Radar the traditional real-time hardware control and signal processing elements of a radar system are replaced by software systems running on general purpose computer systems and interconnected by a high speed and low latency multicast network. From our efforts to develop this system we have identitified a number of architectural patterns which are important for achieving performance, modularity, and scalability in distributed systems for managing experimental instrumentation and the many terabytes of information that are produced. The most important of these patterns concern information organization and management in the system and they are general far beyond their application to ionospheric radar systems. After discussing our system and these patterns we will describe the Open Radar Initiative. This effort is an open source project to make Software Radar technology widely available and to ready it for use as the foundation of a ground based Global Space Weather Network.
