BAE Systems delivers IFF antenna to US Navy
BAE Systems has delivered its 150th OE-120 Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) antenna to the US Navy, the company announced on 25 July.
The antenna will be used by sailors to identify friendly aircraft and vessels and support shipboard air traffic management systems for both IFF and secondary surveillance radars. OE-120 is an electronically scanned IFF antenna originally designed to support Aegis Combat System.
The antenna offers instantaneous, multiple target identification against sophisticated air threats, providing enhanced situational awareness for the fleet.
BAE Systems’ IFF technology is applicable for existing, new and emerging platforms including UAS, ship and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.
