Background
Our client ELT, has designed proprietary Counter-Drone software and hardware for use at sport stadiums, airports, and even military bases. Their system allows for “drone catching” aka targeted jamming of Wi-Fi and radio to cause the drone to land, without causing major disruptions that you’d have with broadcasted jamming.
ELT had asked us to make training software that could interface with Thor, to allow Operators to get familiar with the software with in realistic scenarios.
ELT was not able to provide us source code since it was developed by another group of contractors.
What this boiled down to is reverse engineering the communication protocol. This was because ELT was not able to give us source code since Thor had been made by another group of contractors.

Background
WebIOS was my first big Frontend project. After having proven myself on other projects, I was entrusted with spearheading the project. My señor at the time was busy on another project and only had time to review.
Our client wanted us to build a frontend to a flight simulator (which we were also building in another department). This frontend would need to be accessible via tablets, such that the instructors could remotely control the simulator. They needed to have a real-time map view of the plane and have the ability to setup cloud layers and turbulent winds as well as disable various systems on board.
