Techniques and systems are provided for generating radar control software for radar systems having a variety of different hardware architectures in an efficient manner. A base radar control program may be provided that is configurable using architecture-specific configuration data. A database may also be provided that includes configuration data associated with a plurality of different radar system architectures. Radar control software may be generated for a radar system of interest by retrieving configuration data associated with a corresponding hardware architecture from the database and using the data to configure the base radar control program.
